Your prologue sounds very intriguing, and one that I would be very interested in , someday... I would be honored to buying a copy, if/when I can. Might I make one suggestion? If you provide a direct link to the page your book is actually on, instead of your store link, one will be able to upload a preview, check out your covers, leave reviews and a rating for your hard work and accomplishment of the book, and even purchase a copy, directly from there. If you are new to Lulu, and have any questions regarding how to do that or need any help with Lulu, please feel free to ask me, and I will do everything in my power to answer them or at least direct you to the right areas of Lulu, so you can have them answered appropriately and in a timely manner. If you need an example of what the link should look like, and where that link will take your potential buyers, then please go to my page on this board, and there you will see my link to book on Lulu. Sincerely, Aiyana P.s. You and I have collaborate elsewhere, and I am trying to remember where, -smiles-. Anyway, I am here to answer any questions you might have... P.s.s. I love your poetry, and remember them; my memory is not so good as to where though... The old saying goes, I remember faces, but terrible at names, lol. Anyway good to see you here, hon.

OMG...WOW.. Aiyana...I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY! I read this over the weekend and I was soooooo speechless that I didn't leave a reply. Now, I still don't know what to say..lol. First off, God Bless You for reaching out to me like you have. I REALLY...REALLY APPRECIATE your support. I totally didn't expect that Wonderful replyl. I had to re-read it about three times to make sure you had gotten the right person..lol. I'm like she's talking about lil oh me?..lol I was so shocked and I freaked out..lol. Not only were you giving me so much love for my book but you're considering BUYING IT..THAT'S SUCH A BIG DEAL FOR ME!! Just the fact that you thought about buying it just warmed my heart..I'm so honored. I'm so happy that you're interested in my work. I actually posted the original version of "Girl'z Nite Out." It's totally different from the published version...it's like a totally different story. It's a more in-depth depiction of the two main characters... the plot does thicken..and it's...SEXIER TOO.. ..lol. I still have so many things swarming through my head right now..lol. I don't wanna write another book here, so i'll stop it right here..lol. Also, thanks for your suggestion to post the direct links to both books. So here they are... Girl'z Nite Out www.lulu.com/content/81648Daboetrism www.lulu.com/content/103311Thanks again sweetie.

You are very welcome, hon.
Now I remember where I know you from... It is very nice to have you here.
I have another suggestion that I think will help you out even more, and that is; to add your more recent links to the front page of this page, so when someone reads your initial posting, it will show up there, as well. Sometimes, people don't always read the replies, and it might be missed or scanned over, otherwise...
Safe Journey! Aiyana
P.s. Money is very, very tight for me right now, with my health problems/bills, and my immediate need for equipment to assist with mobility, but yes, I will most certainly buy a copy, though that may be away's away, yet. See you soon...

Ok, honestly? I am hoping that it is poetrypoem, or Lynne's site... One of those two, I am certain, but it could easily be poeticespoetry.com, New Age Inc, Community Portal, to name a few others, lol.
Hon, please don't take this the wrong way, but I could really use a review and a rating on my book, if you have the time.
I only ask because without an ISBN# to promote the sales through public sites such as Ebay, your personal booksite remains private on Lulu except through word of mouth, any direct links you make available for more traffic to your book site, but if you get enough reviews and ratings, Lulu, will publish and promote your book on thier public boards (without the ISBN#, and only on Lulu.com till you can get the barcode to sell publicly, via on and offline bookstores), which will help even more with potential sales of your work. And I could really use the help(?).
Thank you, hon.

Thank you, hon. And as far as my being supportive, you deserve it, and... that is who I am. We as a human race needs confirmation to know our strengths and our weakness' so we can grow and develop... Besides, you do deserve it, so no problem hon. -Smiles-
Lulu is a great opportunity to publishing your works without the expensive, and immediate out of pocket costs, for publishing, editing, designs and so forth, that can end up being a very expensive porject, for many hwo have the creativeness but not the funds... You get the opportunity to push yourself into developing good tools and resources, check out the product, and your own ability to create the works, and then decide if you want to go a step further, such as purchasing the ISBN# to make your works more public, and available for sales outside the workshop of Lulu. That and you can buy a copy of your work, see how it turns out, and then make some creative changes and/or editions through expanding, solve any mistakes, before getting the bar-code so you know that your customer's at book stores and so forth will be a 100% satisfied in your works. It is a lot harder to go back and make those changes once your works are out on the open market, so this is a great place to start that won't break your bank account in the process...lol. You also get the opportunity to spread the word and sell privately throughout the Lulu workshop, in order to get an idea of what your potential customers will want, as well. I consider Lulu a learning process with a lot of perks and a great opportunity for success. You can grow with it. So no problem in sharing those trade secrets, lol.
By the way, you do know that you can upload a free downloadable version of your book through your library, right? It is not quite the same as the first hard copy, but it does give you a general idea of what your buyers will be getting, if you used the right format, and so forth, so if you didn't know; go to your book site, look for the link that says library, click on library, go to the book you want to download, click on the download button, then when the PDF/Adobe comes up, review it or go to the floppy disk icon, and click on save, then save it to your computer, then you'll have a free copy of your own works. You can do that with all of your books. Then if you wish to buy a hard cover copy, then you will go back to your book site, click on buy, and go through that process. Because you are the creator, you will get a great discount for the hard copy version.
If you need any more info, just let me know, as I don't want to take up too much of your space, here.
Sincerely, Aiyana
P.s. I forgot to mention how much I absolutely love your front and back covers for your book, Girlz Night Out... Great work, hon.
