Learning Curve

So I have a new author website and it's beautiful!  Check out Colleen Faulkner Novels. I've never had a website before, nope, not in all these years, mostly because I know nothing about building/having one. So I hired a great web designer and he created this beautiful website, but what I didn't understand (and Joe Valley just explained to me in a very clear, concise email) is that just because you have an author website, that doesn't mean readers can find you/the website. What???? Basically, it all has to do with Search Engine Optimization. Exactly what that means to me . . . I'll get back to you . . . just as soon as I finish the chapter I'm working on for my new book.

Last week I had the honor of meeting Sharon Simons, author of MOM AT LAST. Coming from a family with adopted siblings, nieces and a new daughter-in-law, the subject of adoption has always been close to my heart.  I've always thought that parents who give up children for adoption make the greatest sacrifice a parent can make; it's truly a selfless act of love. And those of us who receive that gift, that precious child, not born of our bodies . . .  The thought brings tears to my eyes.

Anyway, if you love adoption stories like I do, you need to read Sharon's book.  She delves into the heartbreaking subject of infertility, sharing her personal journey and then the journey she and her husband Rick, make to Siberia. She brings home not one son, but two.  You have to read this book!!
