Less than three

Help Me!

Hello!

So in my previous post, I mentioned that my book is getting published! Yehey!

But now here’s the sticky bit. My book is actually a series of short stories, and I have 10 mini books basically filled with stories. My first book will be published, but I need help in choosing my cover.

Here’s the synopsis of my first book, Less than three: Of New Beginnings

At one point or another, love is all about wonderful beginnings.

In “Walkie-Talkie”, Matt has been in love with his friend for a long time. But with Anne entertaining other suitors, can Matt’s love be returned?

It’s a different story for Leila in “Confessions of a University Scholar” after finding out that she has a stalker! She finds posts on a Facebook page mentioning intricate details about her. And when the stranger dares her to find out who he is, she’s left with only 2 choices that could change everything.

“CandlelitStorm” is just the perfect reason for best friends Beth and Bryan to get closer and for her to realize just what she feels for this guy. But will it ever be reciprocated when Bryan has other girls in mind?

Who knows that the time “11:11″ could bring two souls together? The number means so much to Lota that she’d make a wish when it’s 11:11. And when she meets Jeric, the guy who witnesses how she embarrassed herself, he’s also going to make a surprising wish.

Lily sees a post on Facebook from Mike, asking anyone to PM him a number and he’d say something about the person. Lily thinks twice about sending him a number, and just when she did, Mike decides then to continue answering the next day! But what will he say to her after she posted “143″?

Fall in love with these cute couples as they each face new beginnings in this wonderful collection of short stories.

Will you please help me?

Less Than Three Valentine Giveaway!

If you don’t know yet, my book, Less Than Three has been out since last Friday, and I decided to do a giveaway for Valentine’s Day, the very reason that I made myself publish the book right away.

Let me first introduce you to my book formally and with more detail.

Less than three is filled up by original short stories with less than three thousand words. I started weaving the book together last October 2013, but I’ve started writing since 2006. Most of the stories were influenced by the people around me, from the stories that I got inspired with just by observing other people’s lives (stalkerish? maybe). They’re heartwarming stories with a twist from reality, hoping to tug a few heartstrings and have you reaching for your tissue box for a good cry.

Stories included in this book are:

Walkie-talkie (2, 503 words)

The necklace (1,775 words)

Confessions of a University Scholar (1,716 words)

That should be me (708 words)

11:11 (1,514 words)

His morning voice (541 words)

Futile Love (1,169 words)

My little penguin (783 words)

Mrs. Superman (1,127 words)

Nauseated but jealous (1290 words)

Candle lit storm (1,444 words)

Seeing trees (787 words)

Old conversations (852 words)

First Kisses (646 words)

My cup of Joe (900 words)

That little stick (1,569 words)

What once was (686 words)

Indelibly (419 words)

Exhaustingly worth it (758 words)

Eternally yours (1,082 words)

The last dance (1,214 words)

Mad (843 words)

The end (722 words)

Though most of these stories may seem familiar to my ever supportive readers, trust that I have revised and edited them over and over again. I may or may not have added a few scenes, just for delight.

And now I am giving away 14 ebooks, each winner chosen randomly. Winners will receive the PDF file of my book through email, with a signed message if they please. (Please wait for Rafflecopter to load)

I’d never thought I’d see the day,

When I can write a blog post and say,

I’M PUBLISHED!

Yes! At long last, I am published! I have self published my book, Less Than Three on Lulu. Words cannot begin to describe how happy I am that I got it out there, and I can’t stop making doing my little dance. Here’s a little preview of my book, finally OUT and FOR THE WORLD TO SEE!

There is an open secret

between us humans (mostly women):

we love love stories. We feel giddy with

every character’s “I love you” and

we feel heartbroken when the story unfolds

and the lovers weren’t meant to be.

Less Than Three is a collection of short

stories written in less than three thousand words,

by a young adult for the young adults

and adults with young heart..

Follow the stories of the characters

from puppy love to true love,

as they conquer obstacles and fight for

what they believe in.

Non-fiction to fiction; inspired by real life stories,

Less Than Three is written

for those who aim to have their

heartstrings tugged and pulled.

It is for those times when you

just want to cuddle up by the fire

with someone you love,

or when you’re alone in the coffee shop.

Love after all, is Less than Three.
