Happy and Sad All Rolled into One

The BAD / SAD news first so that we end on a good note.

A while ago, I took to Twitter and talked about something that really pained me.

You see, like ALL writers are - I started out as a reader and still am. I am just as much a fan as the next reader is when it comes to superstar authors like Stephen King, JK Rowling and my personal favorites like Preston and Child, Mary Janice Davidson, Nalini Singh, EL James, RK Lilley...so you know I DO NOT HATE ON AUTHORS.

Which is why I was completely shocked and disappointed when I found out that at least 1 person who had not-so-nice stuff to say was a WRITER as well. I mean, really? You know how hard it is to write a book! Granted, my books aren't always perfect but you know how hard it is to write one! How each book is like your baby and anyone who says a bad word about it is like a knife to your chest. I don't mind readers saying stuff about my books especially since they paid for it, but as a writer -really?

And really -I know it's nice to be witty and all, but I say leave that to the professional critics. As a writer, it would be more than enough that you say the plot isn't to my liking. I mean why be soooo --- ugh. You see, I was taught by my parents to just shut up if I don't have nothing nice to say. So I find it totally sad that another writer would be so negative about someone else's book. Live and let live, you know?

BUT HEY ENOUGH ABOUT THAT. WE STILL HAVE HAPPY NEWS TO CELEBRATE LIIIIIIIKE

The Werewolf Prince and I is.... (as of this time)
#569 overall in Amazon's paid market
#22 in Romance>Fantasy
#30 in Erotica.
Top 100 in Erotica and Romance>Fantasy in Amazon UK
#665 overall and Top 50 in Erotica and Romance>Fantasy in Amazon CA

There's another #10 ranking but basically it's just another version of Romance>Fantasy.

Evren is...
#44 in Romance>Fantasy
#64 in Teens>Romance

Soooo thank you for this! I cannot thank you enough!

And while you're waiting for these two's sequels / companion books, how about giving my other books a try?

Drawn - I keep saying, I know, but only because this book is special to me so I really hope you guys give it a try - is just like TWPaI in high school! But this time with a Russian-Japanese hottie. Who is so sexy even I can't stop reading this book over and over. *lol*

Death Loves Me Not - Again, I keep promoting this but only because I like the ghosts I've "created" here. If you love Asian horror flicks like I do, then YOU. SHOULD. READ. THIS! I kid you not!

Hi Marian,

just want to tell you that The Werewolf Prince and I is not on the Amazon.de site available.
http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&url=node%3D567135031&field-keywords=Marian+Tee

Maybe you can do something that it will work?

Hi, Eva. Thanks for letting me know that. There were in fact days when TWPaI disappeared completely from the site while my 3 other books remained. It's really weird. Let me check it again now ----

http://www.amazon.de/THE-WEREWOLF-PRINCE-AND-ebook/dp/B00AJDMYPW/ref=pd_cp_kinc_0

That one showed up. Does this link work for you?

I really liked the Werewolf Prince and I. When will the rest of it be out? I like Misty. Way to bring her out of her shell! (Just don't make her too kick-a$$ LOL) AWESOME!

Hi, Mandy! So sorry for the super late response - apparently, when I changed my site settings to get comments automatically approved, yours didn't make the list. I just approved it now =/ And in case you don't know yet I'm aiming to have TWPa's sequel out sometime in March.
As for Misty, I definitely hear you - I think Misty's greatest strength is that she kicks a$$ in her own nice way. :)
