The only thing about the book I didn't like is the part where you got [spoiler] agegned to each other. I really thought that it should be [spoiler] being agegned. The book is really good and I'm looking forward to reading all of your books. Mrs. Benson,I really love your book The Amen Sisters.

I am so glad I did! I sped through Awakening Mercy and Abiding Hope, can't wait to read the next one! When is it expected to be out? Also, I like the cover with the couple on the bottom for Awakening Mercy and either of the bottom two for Abiding Hope. Thank you for writing good Christian romances Angela!

]]> Comment on Am I selling myself and my eBooks too cheap? by Bettye Griffin http://theamensisters.com/wordpress/2011/10/18/ebooks-too-cheap/comment-page-1/#comment-52220 Bettye Griffin Fri, 09 Mar 2012 10:29:06 +0000 http://theamensisters.com/wordpress/?p=1323#comment-52220 I price my backlist titles at $3.29 (up from the former $2.99). My original titles will be higher, depending on length, between $3.49 and $4.49. I will probably eventually get up to $4.99, but I'm not ready to do that yet. I think this is fair, that I'm not selling myself cheap but not over-charging, either (the eBook I just released is about 125,000 words). I'd also like to stay in the same general range as prices traditional publishers charge. I did the 99-cent thing for a bit with my first original title, but decided I was getting cheated and raised the price. Sales dropped, but that's okay. I'm going to try the free thing with my next backlist title and see how that works. I price my backlist titles at $3.29 (up from the former $2.99).

I'm happy to say that not only was I accepted by my husband's family, but by his ex-wife's family as well. When the kids visit, they bring their mom, and when we visit, we stay at her home. It's been 20 years now, so any initial awkwardness is long gone. It helps that the mother of my stepchildren (as I like to call her) was the child of a second marriage herself and has siblings from the first marriage. Looking back, I think the kids had the most difficulty accepting me as the new woman in their daddy's life...but I've now been around for two-thirds (or more) of their lives.

Like Rosiland, I am "Grandma Bettye." We called my grandmother's second husband "Grandpa John," so that seemed a natural. I sometimes wonder if the kids will ask why they don't have "Grandma" and "Grandpa" when they are older; my husband is "Papa" and his first wife is "Grammy." My mother, who spends part of the year with us and is often here when everyone visits, is "Nanny," the same name her other great-grands call her.
