I am not a native English speaker




Many people asked me: " Why do you write in English language?" I tried to write for Croatian market, I was columnist for internet portals, but I was not paid. It was impossible to get money from my articles, so I gave up from this. 

Eight years ago, I decided to write on English. My blog was active and I collected some posts from my blog in my first book "Lost in the virtual world." After this, I released my second book "Get over your ex lover." I will not forget the moment when my book got a one star review. This was my welcome greetings in Amazon.

Since then, I am progressing and my book number 20 is on the way. I don't like when people post me reviews like " It would look better with a help of editor. "

I worked with five different editors and my style developed for better. I would appreciate reviews based on the content of my books. When someone pull fingers on grammar mistakes, they want to offer you services and ask for money. Scammers like to take an advantage from indie authors, we are excellent targets. 

I enjoy my books, and I found readers who likes it. 

 Every review inspires me to write more. It is a big temptation to write on language that is not my native language and about places I have not visited.  To prepare for this experience, I read books on English  language and it never stopped. Indie authors will always inspire me and give me ideas.

The story shows that intelligent women and common sense are not immune to falling in love with bad men and the thought that they can change them. A love story that is not really a romantic story. Love is one-sided. Love is stronger than reason, but until a moment when everything has changed. Purchase link:  Seduced by...

Swapping books - a devil's deal

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...
