Sorry - I'm a SLACKER!

Sorry I'm such a slacker in keeping the blog updated. You're probably better of following me on Facebook to keep up with my current info!

So here's what been going on since my last post:

Geek Girl is available for sale in several venues. My website www.CindyCBennett.com,
Amazon, Barnes & Noble to name a few.

AS an ebook it's available in all those same places as well as Smashwords

Want some free bookmarks, to keep and give to your friends? Email me from my website, and I'll send them to you.

I had a great review of Geek Girl from Night Owl Reviews

I also had an interview on their website

I'm hosting giveaways on Night Owl Reviews
and ldspublisher.com

Now Available in Print!

FINALLY!!!

GEEK GIRL is finally available in print. You can pick it up from Amazon.com. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Geek-Girl-Cindy-C-Bennett/dp/1453663312/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1280994207&sr=1-2

I plan to sale them as well on my website www.cindycbennett.com, however I'm having a hard time getting the cart to set up correctly. If you still prefer to receive an autographed copy, email me (fanmail@cindycbennett.com) and I'll tell you how to acquire one.

Thanks to everyone who has shown an interest, and who has already read GEEK GIRL in eBook form. Your nice comments are much appreciated!

Keep on reading, and never stop dreaming.

Links now available!!!

After MANY hours formatting Geek Girl, I finally submitted it for publishing. The proof should be to me within the next couple days, and if all is well, ready for sale in the next couple weeks. It is now available as an eBook (which was another formatting nightmare - requires completely different formatting that the book).

You can preview a full 40% of it at Smashwords http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/17789.

You can purchase it there or at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Geek-Girl-ebook/dp/B003UHVUFE/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1278398532&sr=1-5

If you don't have a reader (such as a Kindle, iPad or Sony) don't stress. You can download a free reader at either site, or you can download as a PDF from Smashwords and read it on your computer.

All I ask is that you review it once you've read it (preferably on both sites) because that moves it up the queue line when people are searching for book.

Also, as soon as it is available in print, I would love to send you some bookmarks to hand out to anyone you think might be interested in the book.

Thanks for reading!!

If you've been to my website as of today, I need to apologize for it. I'm still trying to make it what I want it to be--not an easy task. If you haven't been, visit at www.cindycbennett.com and sign in on my guest book.

I'm hoping to have my book uploaded as an ebook this week, and ready to sell in printed format within the next month. Don't give up, it's coming I promise. I've finally mastered the nightmare that is formatting, and completed the cover that I'm happy with (which you can see on my website and will hopefully be posted here soon as well).

Now we play the waiting game... (insert Final Jeopardy music here). :)

"Geek Girl" is my first novel. It's actually the second book I've written, but the first I've published. The first book written, tentatively titled "Heart on a Chain" will be my second book published. Confused yet?

I began writing for my oldest daughter, Lindsay. She and I had an idea to write a story about a girl who lives nearby, who is always swinging on her swingset in her backyard. I mean, seriously swinging. Of course, the story was completely our imaginations, and not at all her real story. The result was "Heart on a Chain."

I wrote "Geek Girl" for my second daughter, who was 14 when I began writing it. The original version of this book was a short story, which I submitted to a writing contest, which won Honorable Mention in the Young Adult category. But Jen kept calling to me, begging for her story to be told in full. So I began writing and my daughter, Lexcie, who is my biggest fan wouldn't let me stop. If I went too long between writing chapters, she kept after me until I began again. And before I knew it, I had a novel.
