Sally at Smorgasbord Blog Magazine is always generous when she helps to spread the word about new books being released. So I’m honored that she featured my first children’s book. I’ve been trying to reblog and share links of the friends who have shared the news about Cora in the order that corresponds with their posts. But if I’m out of order, please forgive me. My head has been spinning for over a week, but for celebratory reasons! π₯°
My deepest gratitude to you all who have helped me out in the most gracious ways!
Sally is the author of Size Always Matters – a wonderful tool for not only losing weight, but for eating healthy as a lifestyle change. I loved this book and will keep it within reach. We all need some guidance at some point regarding our eating habits. My review of Sally’s book can be found here.

So, I invite you to visit Sally’s post by clicking on the link below to check out her beautiful way of announcing the release of Cora’s Quest. Thank you again, Sally! I’m so appreciative of your support, and I’m still doing the happy ‘deer’ dance! :)πβ€οΈ
As always, thanks so much for your presence, and I appreciate your patience while I promote my book. π
Also, Cora’s Quest would make a wonderful gift for any little ones. It’s a sweet story with a big message for all ages, and the images are magical and vibrant, so the paperback would be lovely for a child to hold in his or her hands. Have a wonderful rest of the week! β€οΈ

Sally is a good friend to authors. I’ll check this article out.
Thanks, Jacqui, and you may have already seen Sallyβs post. π₯°
Thanks Jacqui xx
Lauren, your book in paperback would not ship to me, it said it couldn’t be delivered to Ireland, so I bought the kindle version, and I’ll read it and review it this weekend! Looking forward to it! Xoxo
Oh thatβs too bad, Carol Anne. You probably couldβve bought the paperback from Kobo. But I appreciate you buying the kindle. Thank you! ππ€
If I can buy the book from Cobo in paperback, I will buy it, Iβd like to have a paperback copy as well as the e-book xx
Youβre so kind! Barnes and Noble is the other option. Please let me know. Hugs π€

Thanks so much, Eugi! I appreciate your support! β€οΈπ
You are most welcome, Lauren! ππ«
I agree that it would make a wonderful gift for children for Christmas, Hanukkah, birthdays, Easter, Ramadan, etc., Lauren! Congratulations!
Wow, Dawn, thanks again! You have truly made my day brighter! The happy dance continues! πππ
Congrats, Lauren! Hope it gets lots of sales.
Thanks for all your support, Denise! It really means a lot! π₯°

I hope that lots of little ones will have Cora’s Quest waiting for them under the tree on Christmas morning! Sharing.
Aww, I love that wish, Liz, and appreciate very much! Thanks for sharing too! ππ
You’re most welcome, Lauren!
Excellent, Lauren! Sally is fabulous, and I’ll head over after I comment.
Love the snow effect. Did you get a plug-in for that?
π€ππβ¦π
Thanks, Resa, and I agree about Sally! Thanks for heading over to Sally’s too! I saw the snow effect on another blog, Eugi’s blog, so I asked her about it. You go into settings and change to classic view and the option is there to enable the snow. I was so happy! Like Christmas had already come! π I had it a long time ago, then it disappeared and I thought you needed a plugin. She said only with the Business plan which I don’t have. Sometimes, it’s really the simple things in life. βοΈβοΈπ©·π₯°π€
So happy for you
Thanks for your kind words, Ian. I know these posts get repetitive, but marketing is the joy of being self-published. π
That’s nice that you’re getting publicity for your new book.
Thanks for your kind words, Binky! π
Aww Lauren this is great! I’m going to buy it for my little nieces. Good luck!!!!
Oh, thanks so much, Bella! Wonderful news for me today, and I hope your nieces love it. Thank you! ππ
I’m sure they will, and I will let you know.
Thanks again! ππ
A great and well deserved shout out to Sally! Her book is a testament to her commitment in her life and sharing it with others is the gift for anyone that picks it up.
Oh and LOVE Cora’s Quest that I read before wrapping. It is filled with wonder and courage of the little one that finds wings and parents who join her on the path! π It’s a delight.
Sally would be happy to know your thoughts about her book, Cindy! And thank you SO much about Cora’s Quest! I’m so glad you love it! For my first attempt, I’m really happy with how it turned out, and working with Chris was wonderful. So, thank you for brightening my day! ππ
LOL! I have 2 blogs, so got to like twice
πππ€ππ
LOL You’re too funny, Resa! I can be barely manage one! π₯°πβοΈ
Same here! But I have 2.
I’ve thought about combining the 2, but I haven’t been able to get a grip on that.
xoππ€π
Combining would take some thought and time, for sure! Have a good day! Love and hugs! βοΈπ€ππ
