I'M TALKING: INDIE AUTHORS INSPIRING WORDS

SO, YOU HAVE A STORY, EH? 
WRITE ON!
LISTEN TO MY STORY
SATURDAY, 8/10/19

(scroll to bottom for Radio Interview info 8/10/19 when I'll talk about The Skye in June

My first novel, The Skye in June, didn't start out as a novel. I wrote it as a screenplay. Every movement, every word - the conversations between the characters I spoke out loud. 

Turns out readers of the book comment on how much they enjoy the dialogue.

You want to write? Make it real - r-e-a-l - even the fantasy ones - how real is that fantasy? Can another get into it? Be a part of you fantasy place, characters, story?

Even if you don't want to publish (that's a whole other story) you have a story to tell, to share. 

Here's a few suggestions. 

• Find an important time in your life. A particular event that had an impact upon you - good, bad or ugly - something that added to who you are today,

• Talk it out loud with real emotions. 

now....

• Tell it again - think you're telling the story to an audience of any size you imagine. 

• Are you ready to say it a third time? While telling it, record your story.

• Listen back. How does your story sound? Is it impactful? Humorous? Enticing? Clear?
How do you feel listening to it? Do you think another could relate? Want to hear your story?

• Ready to write it? If you found words you stumbled over, weren't true expressions of your emotions, find words either in other books, or perhaps another has voiced. Remember, your story is a picture created through your words.

My first and readers most beloved story is "The Skye in June"

SKYE'S THE LIMIT! TOP FEMALE AUTHOR WISH

My novel, The Skye in June, had been nominated for 

a 2019 Top Female Writers contest.

Please wish it (me) luck and a successful win!

THANK YOU!




Happy to say, my first novel,  is an enjoyed story with over 500 overwhelmingly positive reviews at various book selling sites. Skye has been translated to Japanese (on Amazon.com Japan). 

We couldn't have had a more perfect guest. Ahern's really a natural--so cool and calm, articulate and conversational. - Karen Adams, Producer, Arts, Palo Alto Community Television     

​One of my favorite perks is traveling across the United States on book tours across and
meeting so many lovely, interesting people eager to ask questions about San Francisco - my adopted city by the bay and its  best known neighborhood The Castro. Did you know it sits just about in the heart of the city?

So many more questions - book events are always lively! I've been invited to talk at bookclubs, and taken to dinner with groups just so they can meet an author and ask what's it like to write and market a book - why did I write it? And much more is discussed.


A review on Amazon written by a guest at a book party in Brooklyn, New York said: “Ms.Ahern reads excerpts with her fabulous Scottish burr and engaged her piercing blues eyes with the audience. This stayed alive in my mind and embellished my reading experiences.”   




Where can I get this fine novel? you ask... 

Amazon (international);
• www.smashwords.com (all kinds of ebook options); 
• your bookstore! 
• Order there and... a personally autographed copy (USA mailing only)

Please review my other three books, learn about me and my paranormal investigations on YouTube (The Haunted Bay) and  at june ahern.com 

AGAIN, PLEASE SUPPORT "SKYE" BY SENDING GOOD WISHES. Envision my smiling face with a Winner 2019 top Female Writer banner across me - might as well throw in champagne too!
