Patricia Kieta's Page

Patricia, top of the milky way to you, and welcome to authors.com …from The Chuck-Master of Science Fiction Fantasy, romance, and mind curdling horror…

               I write sci-fi fantasy novels filled with adventure, mystery, romance, drama, horror, and plenty of comedy… It's sci-fi for every adult human to enjoy. I'm also a well-known published poet. When you have a few free moments to spare, please check out my Authors page and a few of my videos and blogs. Many of my blogs consist of free to read enjoyable sci-fi stories that I reedited and united these twenty-two stories within an eBook titled: 'Epic Marvels'. One of my recent sci-fi novels is titled: 'They!' …which is somewhat related to the 1954 sci-fi classic movie, 'Them!'. I've just completed my next sci-fi mystery, titled: 'The Mysteries of Fuller Park'. A fun fiction story based on the eerie satanic urban legends of Fuller Park, in Athens, Texas. My next novel is titled: 'It's Not a Lovable Pet Story!' It’s a Sci-fi fantasy horror for delighting my many reading fans. Also, check out my famed 'Apollo Trilogy Novels'™… Please let me know if you'd like to become friends.

The Chuck!

Hello Patricia!

I'm new to the site and I just wanted to see what other's thought about it. Happy writing & reading!

Smashwords is only eBooks but they do all types. They also connect with Baker & Taylor who has Blio. That is where they can bring your children's books to life. I recommend checking out Blio. http://www.baker-taylor.com/blio.cfm  I don't do illustrated books so it's not quite my style.

I don't know how it is in your state but I know here (California, Bay Area specifically) that Barnes & Noble (do you have those there?) and smaller second hand book stores are cooperative with promoting local authors (if you have a physical book). It does take a lot of foot work, face time and promoting and having a good website will help too. Just don't pull all your hair out before you get famous =)

I'm currently building my own website (well my husband is actually) and there is a lot of hidden steps that go into promoting your website and it's always changing. He's been building websites for about 8 years and google's requirements keep changing. If you don't have one to promote your books you should look into it. Almost every great (current) author has one these days.

Thank you for getting back to me =)
