I have never been a “follower” in my life. Always the leader, but as the weeks and months progress, I feel like I’m lost in the middle of a feeding frenzy on Twitter. I am overwhelmed. So, why am I feeling so lost at this particular moment? As many of you know, I joined Twitter to find out more about BTS, and for the most part, it’s been a good journey. It’s had its ups and down, certainly, but I always try to cull the herd and keep my timeline as free from drama as possible. In the beginning it…
Looking at this through Yoongi’s eyes today. What Yoongi wants, Yoongi gets! So setting my goals. My first? To sell 1000 books. My second to follow? Selling 10,000 copies of Discovering BTS. What Marion wants, Marion gets! Let’s make it real! I appreciate everyone who’s bought a copy, and even more when you write a review and share your thoughts. Thank you ARMY! Paperbacks and eBooks are available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and my Etsy shop, DiscoveringBTS. Here’s some of the latest reviews: Barbara 5.0 out of 5 stars Very enlighting.

Okay, so you’ve written your book. Now what? Contrary to popular belief, books don’t sell themselves. Once you’ve published, the work has only begun. If you’re self-published, you’ve got a long road ahead of you. And even though my book is selling, and dear friends and new acquaintances have been promoting it… Yet, I’m not feeling the love. I wrote a book about BTS and ARMY, so you’d think, what better place to promote it than on Twitter. Wrong! The vast majority of my followers (over 1500 as of March 2022) aren’t paying any attention to my posts, and they…
What a great way to begin my Monday morning… Opened my Discovering BTS Amazon page to find four lovely reviews by ARMY! Thank you so much. It’s heartwarming to see that people love the book and are recommended it to others, not only here, but on social media. Of course like any author, I keep hoping for more, but I have to remind myself not to get impatient. 😉 Word will get out. It’s only been three weeks, girl! Take a deep breath and keep plugging away. You’re getting there. And received my first Etsy review too. Merci beaucoup.
Many thanks to my ARMY pal Lynn, for the beautiful photo she took after receiving my book. I love it. Proud to say that book sales are doing well during their first weeks after release. Fans have been buying the books both on Etsy and on Amazon, and I’ve already received some wonderful reviews. I can’t express enough thanks, since they are a self-published author’s bread and butter. Word of mouth is a great source of advertising! And another ARMY photo from Lisa. Pictured below is her daughter. I think she’s a wonderful model, don’t you? So to all, 감사합니다 아미 …
