I can't believe it's been two months since I started this website. I feel like I should be further a long in some regards to this whole getting a book published thing, but I am not a career author yet so sometimes other things must take priority, as much as it kills me.
Enshrine just went through its first round of edits and I already love what it has morphed into since I wrote the rough draft two years ago. I believe that I have one more round before it moves on to the proofreader but I'm hoping that I will have a release date for you soon! I wanted to share something funny with all of you. About a year ago I began ghostwriting as a way to make some extra cash, and have done almost a dozen short stories in that time. Now where Enshrine is a romance, it is a very tame, slow burn kind of romance. These...not so much. I'm actually not sharing any of the titles on here because I do not to be judged before you read what I poured my heart and soul into. Anyway, I've recently found five of them on Amazon and Goodreads and it is a very odd feeling. One, the covers are so cheesy and full of shredded ab muscles I laughed out loud. Two, I'm very happy that Kay Bennson or my real name is not associated with them because they are riddled with typos. (It was like they published the story as I submitted it, I run them through a grammar checker but still.) Three, most people did not hate them. I find this bittersweet because I can confidently say that those smut filled romps are NOT my best work. The three that had reviews and ratings averaged nothing lower than a high three and one had five stars! One had a really great review while the other said "speechless". So I guess where I'm going with this is, if those were not perfect and were well received, what will people think of something I worked my hardest on? Let me tell you about my giveaway. I am assuming that most of you came here from another website; probably my Facebook Page or Twitter. I want to get people excited about Enshrine's upcoming release so please follow me on all the sites that I have listed in my "Find Kay Online" tab. For every 100 followers I get in each of those platforms I'll raffle off a "swag bag". If you win you will get an Enshrine bookmark, pen, and a 5 dollar Amazon gift card. I'll keep doing it until I've got my own little fandom! I'd like to raffle off a copy of the book when it finally gets released, so why not increase your chances? Cheers, Kay Bennson
