A huge heartfelt, ‘Thank you!’ goes out to Winter Bayne for my beautiful new banner image! I also toyed with a new layout with the hope that it makes the site look a little more polished. What do you all think?
Of course, now that I have this fancy new image that features my current and upcoming novel, it’s a great time to share some news I’ve been holding onto for awhile.
Ladies and gentlemen, UnBlessed now has 10 reviews on Amazon!
Yes, yes, I know, it might seem silly to be excited about just 10 reviews, especially when the book has been out for over a year. But for a self-published author? One who has almost no author platform to speak of and frequently forgets to market herself? I think it’s not too shabby.
While I’m tempted to share all of the reviews one by one, I think that might be a tad overkill. So instead, anyone interested in seeing what others have to say about UnBlessed can go here to read the reviews directly from Amazon. Although, fair warning – any new reviews I get will probably be shared in a blog post. I mean, that’s good marketing, isn’t it?
Anyone who’d like to get a copy of UnBlessed to catch up on the story before the sequel is released can purchase it from Amazon: $11.95 for the paperback, or $2.99 for the kindle version.
You can also order the paperback from your favorite book retailer, or visit my personal estore.
Also, if you haven’t already, follow me (or become a fan) on Goodreads and keep an eye out for giveaways. I still plan on hosting one for UnBlessed to prepare for the launch of Fire Blessed – if it goes well, I might also host another giveaway for Fire Blessed! *hint, hint* 🙂
Okay. I’m done marketing now. XD

Ha! That’s more reviews than I have, so maybe I should be taking marketing advice from you. 😛 Congratulations~! And the new layout looks great, by the way.
Thanks!!! And getting reviews is tough … I gave out a ton of promotional copies (like, over forty, which makes me cringe at potential missed sales – but oh well) and only got those 10. Who knows? Some of those ‘lost’ reviews might still pop up.
Haha going by that logic, I should have like 50! Definitely know the feeling.
This is just awesome, Crystin! It’s so much more professional, personalized and I love seeing your book covers on your site. Good job!
😀 Thank you!!!
Woo Hoo! I love the new look, and the review news is awesome! Congratulations! 😀 ❤
Thank you!

Honestly, congratulations. This is absolutely fantastic. You couldn’t hope for a better outcome this close to launch. I guarantee Fire Blessed will be stellar. The storytelling is outstanding.
Thank you! Needless to say, I’m hoping to post reviews of Fire Blessed as they come in, as well as any more UnBlessed pick up during the launch madness.
Also, love the new layout and Winter’s banner. Very, very clean!
Thanks!!!

Haha, one of the few benefits for having a first name with a unique spelling! Thanks for the info, though – I know that being easy to find is important for growing a market. I’ve also been toying with the idea of reorganizing the blog to look more like a website …
