‘Kitty & Fred’ Warms Hearts on Instagram Tour

I’m walking on air after the phenomenal Instagram Quiet Whispers Book Tour over the past ten days celebrating my new release. Connecting with readers and following along as they fell in love with Kitty and Fred’s unexpected romance blossomed against the odds has been magical.

The outpouring of emotional support across this tour moved me. Reviewers raved over the story, many not wanting the tale of nurturing Kitty and reckless Fred to end as she...

This week, I was thrilled to see a story in our local newspaper about a boy who had read one of my children’s books.

Jovie had been very poorly and his mum bought him the book, ‘I’m Not Scared with Billy Brave’ which is now a firm favourite in their house.

Here’s what the article said:

Saffron Walden author Traci Rosewood’s debut children’s book ‘I’m Not Scared with Billy Brave’ inspired a young boy to overcome his fears about his battle with scarlet fever and numerous hospital visits.

Book reviews are a critical component of an author’s success.

They provide valuable feedback for the author and are an essential tool for reaching new readers.

In this blog post, we will explore why book reviews are so important for authors and how they can help to boost an author’s career.

Firstly, book reviews provide authors with valuable feedback on their work. Reviews can highlight strengths and weaknesses in an author’s writing, which can help them to improve their craft. Constructive...

After releasing my debut children’s book last weekend, I have been overwhelmed with the comments and feedback so far.

But when I got sent a photo of a little girl called Olivia reading it to her dog, I felt amazing!

Her mum said she has been so excited waiting for it to arrive and hasn’t wanted to put it down since.

This is so special and I love it.

Thank you so much, Olivia.

I hope Junior the dog enjoyed it too.

I’m Not Scared with Billy Brave is now available in paperback and ebook formats and...

I got tagged today in an Instagram post about a book tuber who featured one of my books in their video.

The video was her five suggestions for books to be made into movies or TV series and Reasonable Lies was her first one to discuss why she thinks it should be a movie.

It’s so lovely to see readers talking about any of my books and this one made me feel extra proud especially with that book as you know, it’s my fav!

And do have a watch of the video too or leave a comment for her. I know she’d...

On Wednesday, 10th March, I received a private message from one of my local radio stations, BBC Essex which in itself was very exciting.

They searched on Instagram for 'Essex Author' and found me, yay.

The reason they had contacted me was that they were doing a section that evening live online about ebooks versus paperbacks and how it is moving over more to the digital side these days and in the current situation we have been in during COVID. They asked me to take part and give my views on it...

So on Wednesday, 20th January 2021, I went LIVE on Instagram for the very first time to be interviewed!

I was so nervous but Lucas from the Book Society Pod was very welcoming and helpful in his interview and I really enjoyed it in the end.

We had a good chat about my book and the process and roller coaster ride that I’ve been on over the past year.

He bought my book too, which arrived in lovely California to him, the day before the interview.

It was lovely to see so many people tuning in to say...

Instagram has been amazing for me and my book/author journey so far and one person in particular over the past few weeks has made me even more happy and super proud.

The lovely V.Rose (Vanessa) who is also in the process of writing her first book, titled Always; kindly asked me if she could buy a signed copy from me and get it sent to her.

To NEW YORK!

I was super excited and after three attempts at getting it sent, it finally arrived 5 days later and she then excitedly shared the excitement on...

I was so pleased to receive a message from a book store over in the USA to ask me if they could stock a small selection of my books.

Of course, I said YES!

Red Horse Books is a small book store located in South Georgia specializing in finding great book deals to pass to their readers who shop with them. They especially like to support indie authors like myself so I was more than happy for them to stock my book.

They have ordered a small amount for now and they are due to arrive this week for...

I was excited to be asked for another blogger interview just recently.

Vikkie from ‘The Ladies Who Read’ blog kindly asked me to answer some of her questions to be on her blog in the Author Spotlight section.

Please check out her blog and read more on the interview by clicking the LINK below.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW

This morning I got a lovely photo sent to me via Instagram.

It was from a reader who had purchased my ebook a few weeks back, read it and then left an amazing review for me.

As a little thank you to her, I sent her a FREE matching Reasonable Lies Bookmark and it took just over a week to arrive in the big city of NEW YORK!

To top it off, she loves my book so much and has been so supportive, she has even invited us over to visit her when the pandemic os over!

To say she’s one of my top fans is an...

You may have read my review on T. A. Rosewood’s debut novel, Reasonable Lies. I loved this book and it has made it into my top five reads this year to date. I’ve said it a thousand times, and I’ll say it again, this book made me cry! So when she agreed to answer some questions for my blog, I couldn’t help but do a little happy dance.

This woman is amazing – she was told by the ‘big’ publishing houses that they couldn’t take her book on, so she decided they had made a mistake, and went down the...

This is the first novel published by T. A. Rosewood and is an absolute roller coaster of emotions with wonderful characters. The story line is both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

This is the story of a woman who is given some life changing news following a chance awareness raising day at her place of work. What follows is a line of lies she tells in order to protect her family from the news.

It was tough to read, but I felt I had to continue....
