So, how are sales going you ask??

Well, they are happening, not like Rome was built in a day! With the current Birthday Month promotion going on we are finding more downloads at http://www.smashwords.com/ for the book, and now it is available on http://www.amazon.com/ (see link to book) and have seen one person buy it! All writers start somewhere, at one point even Stephen King had to have his first sale! We'd love to start seeing some reviews coming in, even ones that are less than favorable! As a writer, all feedback is important and welcome, at least if you're worth your salt! If you can't listen to the positive and negative with equality, then you will never improve your writing technique. Too manywriters are just in it to pump out book after book, not caring if their book merits a purchase with someone's hard-earned money, but too concerned with their royalties. Yes, royalties are great! Not gonna lie to you, that is a big reason for becoming published, but if you don't care about your writing, those sales and revenue will never happen, period. J.M. and I find it important to nurture his relationship with other writers, particularly indie writers, and word-of-mouth goes a long way. We  find ourselves re-Tweeting for fellow authors, re-posting Facebook announcements, in the hopes that they will do the same for J.M. and reach folks who would otherwise have never heard of him. So, please consider going to Smashwords and getting your free download for multiple ereaders during the month of September, no coupon code needed, and please review it when you are done! If you like to financially support your indie authors, consider "Shadows Beyond The Flames" on Amazon.com as an option! Thanks and enjoy!

My husband the writer: What can you expect from J.M. Tresaugue's short st...: "Somewhere in the depths within us all we possess good and evil, honorable and shameful, ugly and beautiful. J.M. Tresaugue’s Shadows Beyon..."

What can you expect from J.M. Tresaugue's short story collection??

Somewhere in the depths within us all we possess good and evil, honorable and shameful, ugly and beautiful.  J.M. Tresaugue’s Shadows Beyond the Flames and Other Stories proves just that.  Within each of us we have the power to do great good, and in the blink of an eye, we can turn into a depraved, immoral human being.  You find variations of these human characteristics within the contents of stories such as The Manual and Sometimes Always.  However, within Graphic Burn we are given a glimpse of what being a better person truly means. 

There are stories that grip us, stories that shake us to our cores, and stories that inspire. The stories contained within this volume touch on a little of everything; from the macabre, to the hopeful, but mainly the darkness within us.  You won’t be disappointed with the variety of science fiction, horror, fantasy, strange, unusual, and revenge thrown in for good measure in Shadows Beyond the Flames and Other Stories.  J.M. Tresaugue’s crafting of a story is a brilliant exercise in literature.

Do you ever feel like a writing widow?

If you have a significant other, in my case a husband, who is a dedicated writer and blogger, and Tweeter, and Facebooker, et al., you can understand the term "writing widow". You support your better half in all of their endeavors, including writing and publishing their works. But let's get real, you wish there were more hours in the day so that you could get the same attention from them that they give to their writing. It's not being selfish, it's being real. It's a fine line you are walking to be supportive of their full-time, and sometimes all-the-time, writing...and being non-conducive to their creative process. With my husband he tries very hard to balance everything, and there are times I feel ignored, let's not mince words. But, in the end, he's doing what he loves, which makes him a happier person and in the end I win. It's been a lifelong passion for him, and I vowed when we got together, long before getting married, that I would support his work, he deserves it.

So, you're not a bad person if you think you aren't seeing enough of your spouse. I think you'd be a bad person if you thought you WERE seeing enough of your spouse! It's human nature to want to be the center of your spouse's world, and I'm no different. I love the attention he gives me. I love his writing. I love that he tries to do both. Just hang in there folks, there is a balance to be found, and you are not the only one who feels like a "writing widow".
