Read on for my thoughts on Writing the Bestseller II: Romantic and Commercial Fiction (non-fiction)

Many years ago when I was plotting out my career it was my desire to be involved in the writing world.  Sure, I wanted to write but I knew that took time and then the publishing world was very different from today.  At the time, I would have taken any position that would have put me in that atmosphere of writers.

Then my life changed and instead of dreams of plots and story ideas, I became the sole caregiver for my son who required my full attention.  I became a medical expert in his area of need, not a writer as I had planned.  I have to admit that in today’s world of self-publishing that old dream is  stewing in my brain.

I am a blogger, reviewing books.  It is as close to the industry as I have come.  As a reader I have a lot of opinions on stories and their development, as a reviewer I also have opinions of how the authors of the novels I review have hit that mark of a really good story.  In reality, the two aren’t that much different.  I normally do not review non fiction.  Yet when this one came available I took a moment to really think about it – and then simply dived right in.

Writing the Bestseller II is a wealth of information that any author should be aware of.  I don’t care if you are an established author of two hundred books or a struggling author with two hundred words on a Word document… this book is packed with useful, pertinent and needed information.

When you can find twelve amazing, bestselling authors in one spot giving out such thoughtful, insightful and totally useful information – then you, the current or planning to be author should perk up your ears and jump on this book.

We’ve established that I am not currently an author – but taking the mindset of a wannabe someday, this is a book that I need.  Yep, I did get it for review through NetGalley… but I will be purchasing my own copy.  Because this is good information that I want to have close to hand – and I’d think any author would feel the same.

I have such respect for Tule Publishing and the amazing group of authors that give me (and you) amazing characters to love and stories to enjoy.  That only makes this book which features the authors of Tule more valuable to me personally.

If you write or intend to write – Writing the Bestseller II is perfect for what you do… or plan to do one day.

*I received an e-ARC of Writing the Bestseller II:  Romantic and Commercial Fiction from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That does not change what I think of this novel.*
