Lizzy Ford's Blog Tour

Hello everyone!


As you can see, today is my day for Lizzy Ford's blog tour! Don't you just love the amazing blog tour button? It took my breath away every time I see it. Without further ado, let's get started!


Guest Post by Lizzy Ford

Ten things I love about being a fulltime writer

1. Interacting with readers.  I had no idea how rich the interactions with others would be when I started.  My writing has improved dramatically this year because of the feedback I receive from my readers, and I’m grateful to them for helping me become a better writer.

2. Unleashing the demons!  I call my muses ‘demons,’ mainly because they give me little time to rest! It’s wonderful to be able to create new worlds and books for a living.

3. Living a dream.  I’ve wanted to be a fulltime writer since I was knee-high, and fulfilling that dream is an incredible feeling.

4. Owning my own business.  Being an independently published writer is a lot like owning your own business.  You have to manage the development of a product, marketing, advertising, sales, everything.  Results are directly related to the efforts you put into the business, which isn’t something I’d experienced as someone who worked full time for The Man my whole life.

5. Learning from other writers.  I’m a huge fan of lifelong learning, and I’m meeting a lot of other authors out there who I’m learning a great deal from.  It can be something as simple as a new advertising opportunity or debates on what is the best choice when dealing with book placement.

6. FREEDOM.  Can’t say it enough!  There are tons of opportunities right now.  For those who like to control their own fates, they now can, whereas a lot of writers didn’t have that choice before epublishing came along.

7. Covers.  This will sound funny, but one of my favorite parts of the process is seeing what my cover artist has done.  She’s incredible, especially given that I’m a very poor client in terms of specifying what I want.  I normally give her a blurb and describe how the book feels, and she creates something beautiful and sends it back.  I dance around every time she does!

8. Seeing the paperback version of my book for the first time.  Ebooks are awesome, but it’s not until I receive the paperback version that I sit back and think, WOW!

9. Building a team.  I was always good at building teams for my old jobs, but I never thought about applying that skill to my own goals, until I released my second book last year.  I started working with a freelance book editor and freelance graphics designer in March.  My husband does my I.T. work and helps me with my online presence.  I’m expanding this team now to include 2-3 core beta readers.  Producing a book is a team effort!

10. Achieving goals I never thought were possible.  My favorite book that I’ve written will be released at the end of this month.  It was based on an idea – and a story I started – over ten years ago.  It’s always held this sort of magic to me, so seeing it go out into the world is something I’ve wanted for ten years.  I tried for 10+ years to land an agent or publisher without success (or responses, in most cases), and decided a year ago I’d do it on my own.  And now, ten books later, I’m getting ready to release my favorite book!

About Lizzy's books


Book 1

Katie thinks she’s going crazy when a baby immortal and death’s personal assistant appear at her doorstep. She’s drawn into a world filled with immortals like Rhyn, an outcast half-breed who claims her as his mate in a show of defiance to his brothers. Rhyn rescues her from Hell and discovers his little human has the gift of immortal immunity that will help his brothers protect the immortal and mortal worlds. 


But Rhyn must keep her alive from good and bad immortals determined to use her and her gift of immortal immunity to their advantage, and Katie must find a way to trust the outcast of the immortal world.

Book 2




Three weeks after leaving Rhyn, Katie learns the Immortals have no intention of letting her go despite her deal with their leader. Rhyn discovers he can only protect her if he accepts his place among the Immortals. However, doing so may cost him the only thing that matters. 


Meanwhile, demons are closing in, and Death orders Katie killed. Death's assassin and the demons pursue them, and Katie will have to choose between Death or Hell to save Rhyn from both.




I seldom see book covers in red. I LOVE THEM.
