Merry Christmas!

Thank you to all readers who have picked up Hybrid, and then continued with the other books in my Trilogy!

I really appreciate it, and will get the chance one day to continue this trilogy!

2015 has been an imaginary year - I can't actually believe it happened! I have been busy with family life, and have completed the first book in my historical fiction saga.

I hope 2016 slows down a little bit and allows me to catch up and perhaps publish another book...

To all of you - I hope you enjoy this Christmas period and get the chance to meet up with family, friends, or, if all else fails, read books!

MERRY CHRISTMAS 

& 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Roll on 2016!

All the best,
Vanessa

Please Read & Review... help the Author!

I have a favour to ask...

Many of you might have read my book, HYBRID for free and enjoyed it. 

If so, I would love it if you reviewed my book. Apparently, the more reviews I have, the more Amazon promotes it. You might have to review it directly on Amazon, which is a pain - sorry! Sometimes, it does not work directly from your Kindle.

If you have also read & enjoyed the rest of the trilogy, then please share your thoughts.

I have had HYBRID free for nearly two years, and am amazed I don't have more reviews to show for this considering the thousands of downloads!

Thank you so much & I hope you understand the reason for the request!

I promised cake...

On my last blog I promised pictures of cake... so here you go!

I was really pleased with how my "Fundraising Cake day" went and I managed to raise £120.63. RESULT...

It does not take much to do something for others and have fun at the same time.

I do have good news... I have started working on more "Evolution" books. If I get it done it will be a totally different collection, looking ahead with some new feisty characters.

I'll let you know how I get on.

My historical romance novels are also now moving along nicely. Finally!

Maybe, I can still call myself a writer after all.

Thank you again for your support & keep reading. For my latest recommendations visit my Reader blog, Goodreads, and Facebook sites.

Does life pass you by too?

I have been a terrible blogger of late... I just don't know where the time goes?

I have been busy with my family, and I have started working part-time too. Honestly, I got more writing done when I had a toddler!

Anyway, now I am baking for charity and having a social tomorrow at my home. Being a writer (or trying to be), can be very lonely and it's important to have a life outside of the internet!

I have been baking meringues yesterday and they came up a treat!

Today, I am making a cake... pictures to follow!

Cancer affect many of us and I will never forget the fact it took the life of my cousin when he was barely over 25 years of age.

If you wish to support the fundraising effort then visit the MacMillan Cancer website.

Anyway, it is interesting to see a lot of books discussing evolution in bookstores and I was tempted by one recently - SAPIENS. Overall, it rambled a lot towards the second half, but it raised a lot of true (if depressing) realities... personally, I think I prefer to live in the world of the paranormal when having these deep and meaningful thoughts! What about you?

Thanks so much to those who continue to buy my books and read my story... it brings a smile to my face to still see sales! Truly - thank you :)

Please feel free to drop me a line on Twitter, Facebook, or write a review. I love to hear your views.

All the best,
Vanessa

Bargain Booksy Promotion

After having tried a FreeBooksy Promotion, I decided to try a Bargain Booksy promotion for my trilogy. It cost $40 and has definitely been a success.

I rocketed up the charts yesterday and have already got my money back! I am even ahead of Anne Rice - amazing!

I know it's hard to know what advertisers work, but I can vouch for this one. Saying this, my bargain was (in my opinion) truly a bargain!

Four books for $3! Saying this, the price for the Boxset via Amazon is still only $5.95. It's still a great price. Or, you can still get the books on a deal via the half-price sale via smashwords!

Thank you to any of you who continue to give a my writing a chance. I promise I have more in the works, but life has caught up with me recently... my children have to come before my writing for now.

I have completed the first book in my new historical fiction series. But, it still needs some work.

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your day. Thanks for visiting my blog.

All the best,
Vanessa :)

PRAISE FOR THE EVOLUTION TRILOGY

"The Evolution trilogy was so much fun to read! All the components of a good series are there and I found myself thinking about the characters constantly. For me that is the sign of a good book - I can't get the characters out of my head, they come to work and the gym with me and I try to figure out what will happen next.

I fell in love with Caitlin and Steven, the main characters in Hybrid, joined in on their adventures in Complications, and was rewarded with a finale that tied up all of the details and loose ends in Return book 3... A very satisfying ending! I highly recommend this trilogy."
Susan

"A great set of books. A must read for all. Imaginative story somehow believable. I would like to visit the community myself."
Lovely Lane

"Really enjoyed all 3 books, find them so readable and hard to put down. As soon as you start reading you feel involved in the story."
Julie

"I loved the entire trilogy and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a paranormal story with a twist and some romance. I am impressed that the scenes that could have quickly turned these books into erotic were kept "clean" and "classy" while still bringing all of the emotion of the action between characters."
My Book Fairy

"... while I'll be sad to see it go, how thrilled I am to have any sort of melancholy feeling about saying goodbye to characters I've worried over and rooted for so long?
The truth is that I've been rather disappointed in the final book in trilogy series of late, so it means something to me that Ms. Wester has taken great care not to make a cookie cutter everyone-gets-everything-they-want-in-the-end final book; nor does she envision the alternate gloomy world which has also plagued trilogies of late (Allegiant or Mockingjay, anyone?)

As a matter of fact, Ms. Wester derives a way to both answer our must-know questions while also leaving a decent bit to our imaginations, an approach I appreciated...and one that will no doubt lead me towards reviewing more of this talented author's work in the future."

Change of plan #TETrilogy

After deciding to give Emily away at the beginning of May, I have seen some downloads but not enough to justify the decision.

So, as Taylor Swift has just said, 'Pay the artist!'

I already give HYBRID away for free, so EMILY will go back to being priced.

Ultimately, readers are a fickle bunch! I am one after all. It seems most people buy what they are told to buy by the media and retailers. If you look at the book currently at the top of the charts (GREY) I rest my case! I can't compete with that and don't want to either.

As I look to my new historical fiction novel, and consider my options I continue to be grateful to anyone who takes the time to read my writing.

I still find it hard to believe I wrote this trilogy. Sometimes, it feels like a dream.

Hope you're all keeping well,

Vanessa :)
