Hey, I'm on Goodreads!
Before I start, I want to thank the lovely ladies at Falling for Fiction for hosting the Hookers and Hangers bloghop this week. It was so much fun!
So I signed my contracts in April which means it's been three and a half months since Sapphire Star Publishing made my wildest dream come true. To tell you the truth, I'm still all woo-hoo-floating-around-on-cloud-9-while-my-family-gets-annoyed-with-me-for-being-so-flighty. If you've followed my blog for any length of time then you know how ridiculously long it took me to get here. For me, the writerly things that come after the contract are so much sweeter than they might have been back in 2006 when I sent out my first query. (Incidentally, I sent out my first query on 4/12/06 and signed my contracts on 4/3/12 so that's almost 6 years to the day.)
So I totally got butterflies when I was recently granted an Author page on Goodreads and I was able to list Finding Claire Fletcher on there as well! Woo Hoo!
So if you want to visit my author profile, go here!
If you want to visit my book, go here!
And if you think you want to read it when it comes out (12/6/12), please put it on your TBR list! Later, after it comes out, if you read it and like it, you can give me a good review! (*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*)
Also, my old website: www.lisalregan.com will be no more as of July 24, 2012. I've gone from Lisa L. Regan to Lisa Regan (as you can see from the cover). I only ever had the L in the middle because www.lisaregan.com was owned by a dentist whose name was neither Lisa nor Regan. I could never get the domain. But literally 2 days after I signed my contracts, the domain became available, so my new website is:
www.lisaregan.com
If you go there and click on the Mailing List tab, you can join my new, nifty mailing list. I'm still experimenting but I can tell you that if you join, you'll receive updates and nifty postcards like this one:
. . . and whatever else I (and my mom) can come up with!
As always, thank you guys for all your support! This online writing community has kept me going through so many things! It is amazing to be able to share these things with people who totally get me and are just as excited as I am! You guys are awesome!

Congratulations, Lisa. I'm not on Goodreads, but I am looking forward to Claire Fletcher.
ReplyDeleteYou sound so upbeat and delighted Lisa! I am totaly thrilled for you. It's always great to hear of author successes and no matter how long it takes it's great when you finally get there. You deserve it - well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great example of perseverance you are! I'm so excited for you and you just be all woo-hoo and flighty until you want to stop. You've earned the right. :)
ReplyDeleteYay!!! I will go check them all out. Best of luck, prayers, crossed fingers and all that!!!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your Hookers and Hangers, and I've just added your book to my TBR list on Goodreads! :D Looking forward to reading it!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for snagging your own domain name! jenniferhillier.com is owned by a real estate agent, who then directs you to another site, so I had to go with .ca and .org myself. Ah well.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the Goodreads page! So much good news. I love it, and you deserve every bit of it.
Yay for the Goodreads page. I shall go put your novel on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure all your reviews will be excellent! December will be here before you know it!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Will add to my list.
ReplyDeleteyay! That's awesome. If I had a goodreads account I would add, but alas, I do not.
ReplyDeleteSo cool, Lisa!
ReplyDeleteI'll add it the next time I'm on Goodreads. *crosses fingers to remember*
Congrats on the new author & book pages! It's fun to track how people add your title to their TBR list. Or, as in my case, give you a review, especially a great one. My you receive nothing but 5 stars & glowing reviews! Speaking of, I also posted about Goodreads today & even posted the review I wrote for FCF. I hope it brings you traffic & adds to many TBR lists. And yeah, I'll have to sign-up for the mailing list, too, though I have a sneaky feeling it's noy necessary for me to find out all your updates this way. *giggles*
ReplyDeleteThat postcard looks so stinking cool! I want one. <3
ReplyDeleteThis is so exciting! :D
This is awesome, Lisa! I will be heading to Goodreads as soon as I finish this comment. It will be fun to add your book to my "to read" list!
ReplyDeleteAnd the postcard is really cool, I'm so happy for you with all of these exciting changes going on!
How totally awesome! Isn't it great when everything comes together like that! Congrats!!! :D
ReplyDeleteA save the date card! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI added it to my TBR list, although I'm not likely to forget! I'm hoping to get it for Christmas. :D
And maybe the dentist's name was Lisar Egan??
I sent my friend request for Goodreads!
ReplyDeleteYou're an inspiration Lisa! Yay for Goodreads! And those post cards look really awesome! I'm going to go sign up now :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Lisa! So exciting! :D
