When I Remember Love received two new professional reviews.
You can read the reviews on my site under Book Reviews or go
right to the sources, Manic Readers and Romance Junkies.  Here is a taste:

Trish Silver provides a wonderful take on what life for a contestant
on a reality television show is like after the last performance. She gives a
remarkable view of the world beyond and how a star is born. The original
music that was made for the novel only adds to the magical ambiance that
Ms. Silver so marvelously crafts. This is a story for anyone who has ever
been in love or ever dreamed of finding the special person meant for them.

Janis your blog blew me away, because it’s so true. I forgot many of the incidents that brought us together when we were so young and naïve. I liked that world and would love to revisit it in a time travel…Someday!

By the way, thank you Glenn Brandon Burke, for leaving a comment. I woke my husband up telling him that someone likes my blogs. “I’m sleeping; maybe we can discuss it tomorrow?” Ed shouted at me.

“You’re no fun,” I screamed back as I left the bedroom, slamming the door behind me. Immediately, I went back to my computer and read the comment over one –hundred times. I thought to myself, somebody commented…he likes me (I sound like Sally Fields accepting her Oscar)…he really likes me!

Thank you again, Glenn Brandon Burke, who’s America’s #1 Motivational COLLEGE Speaker on Student Retention and Student Success! Contact Glenn at: http://www.glennbrandonburke.com/ if you would like to learn how to use your voice and speak like a professional. He’s the BEST!
Now that I received my first comment, and I’m stoked, I’m going to give you some tips on how to promote your first novel:

1. Have a spectacular business card designed…use Overnight Prints for quality.
2. Make sure your manuscript is edited by a great editor. It’s so important that you have a clean manuscript.
I used Mike Valentino…you can Google him. He’s a very nice and patient man. He had to be tolerant to work with me!
3. Hire an Internet Marketing Coach that knows how to sell books and is successful. I use Mick Moore http://www.killergraffix.com/
4. When you don’t understand Internet technologies hire an assistant that you can trust and is an Internet specialist. My assistant is Janis Friesler http://www.janisfrieslerconsulting.com
5. Have a unique BLOG (and don’t steal mine)!
6. Have your Web site ready before your novel is completed and optimized. Janis can do this for you and she’s an expert in flash.
7. Promote yourself everywhere. Be proud you’re are a writer.

Remember, 5% is writing your first masterpiece and 95% is the promotion of your work. Promoting your novel is the “Key.” Promotion is grueling and time consuming, but if you want success bad enough it WILL HAPPEN. Please read “The Secret,” for inspiration and motivation.

Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend.

Stay tuned and please comment.

Wow…this blogging thing is very time consuming. I’m a fiction writer, but my dear husband says that I can write anything. I want to share with aspiring writers how this experience has been for me, so I may help them in the future. Writing this novel has been the best thing that has happened to me except for marrying my husband, giving birth to my boys and being there when my beautiful grandchildren were born, When I was writing the book, every time that I finished a chapter I shared it with anyone that would listen. Writers tend to be insecure and need the feedback.

My husband and I are huge fans of American Idol. Season two was my favorite, because that is when I heard the voice of the incredible song stylist, Clay Aiken. He moved me and I was hooked. I was never a fan of any singer, well maybe Elvis but not really anyone else. I followed him like a groupie all over the country. He’s the ultimate entertainer and I learned a lot about his overzealous fans (like me) that followed him, spent our life savings, but we all had the time of our lives! Clay made me feel sixteen again. I had a boyfriend before my husband, who happened to be a rock star. Clay, who’s clearly not Aidan (my hero in my novel), helped me indirectly set the ground work for my love story.

My first real job was with a theatrical agency on Sunset Strip. I was hired because of my astrological sign. I’m a Leo! I couldn’t even type, but I fit in because I was neurotic and creative. Welcome to Hollywood! Stay tuned because I will give you hints and tips all about the joys and pitfalls of writing a novel. Is anybody reading my blog yet? Don’t be bashful- comment!

Are you one of millions of people who sat glued to their television sets each week watching their favorite reality talent contestant perform, cheering them on, voting for them, and – if they survive to break through as potential stars – following their budding careers?

I admit that I got caught up in the excitement one season and became a fan of an idol who inspired me to explore my own talents. So, I have written a novel that came to me in a dream about a fictitious pop star discovered on a fictitious TV talent competition show.

I know mine isn’t the first story told about an undiscovered talent’s humble beginnings and the road that led them into the spotlight on a hit TV talent show and culminated in a life-changing victory. However, where those stories end, mine is just beginning.

When I Remember Love takes readers along on the journey of a newborn star who discovers his soul mate while on the verge of superstardom.

How does one balance a normal family life while swept up in the exciting, frenetic life of a superstar? Can love survive in such a surreal environment? Will it stand the test of time under those circumstances?

Readers of my novel get a glimpse behind the concert stage and, for mature readers, into the bedroom of hot superstar, Aidan Price, and his beautiful wife Jenna, whose passion ignites on the pages of my book. You can learn more about my novel by going to www.trishsilver.com
