Get out your tissues, you are going to need them.

The first three hours I did alright but then I was bored out...

Merry Christmas LUM
Merry Christmas Longbourn’s Unexpected Matchmaker, and what a merry one it was. After my family spent hours unwrapping gifts using the webcam with those members of our family away from us we decided to watch movies while all of the food was still baking.
While everyone else was watching movies I jumped onto the computer there in the front room to do a little shopping at amazon and while there...
Amazon Sales Rank
I have discovered a thing called Amazon Sales Rank. Apparently as sales of your book occur in relation to sales of other books on amazon the book is ranked. I researched books and determined that a score of 100,000 or less is pretty good, whereas once it reaches over 100,000 your sales have really dwindles.
This is also the same for Kindle though there are less kindle books and competitine therefore...
Emma Hox has always been an avid fan of Jane Austen’s novels. Although her favorite novel, she has been disappointed in Pride and Prejudice’s Mr. Bennet. Longbourn`s Unexpected Matchmaker gives the witty father of Elizabeth Bennet the personality Emma always envisioned he should truly have.
Emma is a member of the Jane Austen Society and a Jane Austen writer’s guild. She speaks to youth groups about becoming the women they dream of being, using the Jane Austen Heroines as examples. Emma explains each of the characters have personalities and flaws any female can relate to, admitting her own character match would coincidentally be Jane Austen’s Emma. She teaches the young women that each one of them has strengths and weaknesses and shows them how to learn and grow with confidence.
Emma was born and raised in the farmlands of Eastern Washington and is a graduate of Central Washington University in Ellensburg.
Married with two boys ages 5 and 2, Emma and her family love to sail and spend time on the lake on weekends. The author mostly enjoys sitting on the bow of the boat in the shade of the jib to write.
