[liafairchild]

Would love to share two things about In Search of Lucy:

First, I recently received my 25th review for In Search of Lucy. Here's an excerpt: "This is a very human story, and very real, and the ending was VERY satisfying! An enjoyable read. I recommend it!"

Second, Lucy continues to show up on Amazon top 100 lists including Amazon Bargain Books Kindle Romance and Drama http://ow.ly/6J7SX

On a separate note - If you sign up for my newsletter by 10/31 you will receive a free download of my romantic short story, "Special Delivery." http://www.liafairchild.com/?p=236

Just a quick update on "In Search of Lucy" and the re-release.

Lucy recently picked up it's 28th review. Wayne gave it 5 stars and said, "Couldn't put it down, and had to know where she would end up. Certainly worth reading!!"

Been getting quite a few male readers lately.

In Search of Lucy has consistently been in Amazon Bargain Books Kindle Romance top 100 and today sits at #16.

The tentative date for AmazonEncore to re-release my novel is sometime in January 2012.

I'll keep you posted.

Congrats on the deal!!! I'm glad to see that it appeals to both genders. Sometimes it can be hard to accomplish that, especially with romance. So, congrats on that too.

[Sean Patrick Reardon]

Congrats Lia, your Hint of Murder books look very intriquing. Going to check them out
Best of Luck! SPR

[Mel Comley]

WOW!!! Lia, that's wonderful news, sorry I'm late with the congratulations been busy writing! 

[liafairchild]

Hi Sean: Yes, A Hint of Murder is definitely different from my novel, but lots of fun. Hope you enjoy them.

Mel: Thanks! Better late than never, right. 


Quick update on the re-release. Things are going smoothly and we might see the new version up on Amazon as early as January! ~Fingers Crossed~

Just saw some new cover concepts for "In Search of Lucy." It's getting very close and I'm getting nervous and excited at the same time. It's tough to part with the cover that started it all, but I'm looking forward to seeing how this new re-release will be received.

Love the new cover, Lia. Do you have a date when In Search of Lucy is being released by Amazon? Loved the story by the way. ;-)

[liafairchild]

Thanks, Mel! I'm really excited about the new cover. It was fun getting to the point where we were all happy with it. Right now the Kindle version is available but on 2/28 it will switch to the new cover and a slightly edited version and the paperback will be available on that date as well.

The big day will be here before we know it. On Tuesday, February 28, AmazonEncore is officially re-releasing In Search of Lucy. At that time the paperback will also be available.

A new review posted to the KindleObsessed website. Here's an excerpt: 
"This book follows Lucy’s journey back to HERSELF.  It’s not just about romance, and a sisters fight for life.  It’s about acceptance of what was, what is, and what will be."

Thanks so much to all the Kindle readers out there that helped bring In Search of Lucy to the #1 spot for Bestselling Kindle Drama.

On Tuesday, AmazonEncore re-released the title under their imprint and with a new cover. So far the big day was a success and readers are interested in Lucy and her story. I hope you will check it out too.

Links have changed too so here's the new one. http://www.amazon.com/In-Search-Lucy-Novel-ebook/dp/B006JTTJ08/ref=zg_bs_157047011_1

Also, In Search of Lucy has been in the top 100 since it's re-release and even made a few appearances in the movers and shakers list.

Thanks to all of you that took a chance on a new author and downloaded In Search of Lucy! I hope you enjoyed my story. 

[liafairchild]

I'm happy to report that In Search of Lucy is still in the Top 100 in the Kindle store. It's been going up and down a bit this month but hold firm in that 60-80 range.

I will be doing a series of blog posts over the next two weeks featuring In Search of Lucy, including at least one with an excerpt. Will post links here as they arrive.

Lastly, and from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you for taking a chance on a first time author and picking up my book.

Loved Lucy... is there going to be a sequel? If not, why not??

[liafairchild]

Hi Libby:

You know, I was asked this question only a couple of other times. I hadn't really thought about doing that, but I do love those characters and would really enjoy writing a new story with them in it. The only problem is that I have so many other story ideas that I'm just dying to do. Maybe once I get through a few I could revisit the idea. I've actually just completed my second full-length novel. This one is a thriller.

Thanks for asking.

Lia

[liafairchild]

Just a quick update on reviews. Some nice ones have come in over the last week or so. Here are some of the things they've said,

"Really didn't have any specific expectations. But surely was pleasantly surprised. It kept me in suspense the entire time! Wondering if there will be a sequel. That would be great."

"What a great read this book was...All the characters could strike a cord in everyone's life and give you pause. I will definitely look into any other books this author has if the others are as well written as this one."

"...it is the type of book you want to keep going..."
