A Last Minute Surprise trip to celebrate my aunt Ernesta Moore’s birthday & my nephews 21st birthday. My trip was spurred by the fact tomorrow isn’t promised, particularly for my aunt who is battling the vicious ‘Old Timers’ aka Alzheimer’s. My surprise succeeded & added to the occasion, a fabulous time was had by all.🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾

Troubador Black History Month Blog by Dominiquè DeVeraux 

In 2019, diversity in literature is more evident than ever before. With the imploding growth of Ebook platforms & Indie Publishing services, there are more opportunities than ever before to have your work published. This shift is driving the diversity in literature & feeds the book lovers appetite for exploring & discovering voices & storytelling from every inch of the world.

Sadly, marginalised authors still struggle to penetrate traditional mainstream publishers. As both a published & Self Published Author, I have battled to get my manuscripts accepted. And, 25 years since, my first book was published, it appears that not much has changed as mainstream publishers still fail to see the value of diverse voices or unknown authors.

But thanks to the growth in Author Self Publishing services, the book world is becoming enriched with diversity & new authors.

With my ‘FOMO’ in tact, I jumped on the bandwagon with my new book, I opted to Self Publish ‘‘Cinderella’, I Wish! with Matador, who offered a 5 star service at a competitive rate. I thoroughly enjoyed the autonomy the process afforded. 

Moreover, I have overcome the publishing barriers, ill health & disability, to tell the world my story of murder, kidnapping, domestic violence, rape & a miracle baby, from the perspective of cross cultural dynamics, child/woman, middle class, able/disabled, Black British/Barbadian stand point.

It’s ‘Authors Time!’ Regardless of your country of origin, language, colour, culture, class, disability, religion, gender or sexuality, you can be an author!

Since the publication of my bestselling memoir ‘Cinderella’, I Wish! I have been overwhelmed by the response from friends & family & book lovers, who have connected with the essence of my journey and my reason for writing, ‘Cinderella’, I Wish!

Described as ‘tragically brilliant’, ‘Amazing & Compelling read’, ‘Fantastic, read loved every minute’, just a few of the review headlines.

But now 4 haters (some I don’t even know) have popped up, apparently they would like me to lie about their character &/or be less descriptive. Their posts & comments actually show their vicious character.

Whilst I do apologise if my adversity offends or if my ability to rise baffles. 
But, I am rooted in my right to stand in my truth & my perspective. 

In the words of NeNe Leakes ‘I Said What I said!’




To the haters, I would like to draw your attention to my Disclaimer & Dedication;

Dedication

This book is dedicated to those who truly loved me, 
And those who empowered me to aim high.
To people who misunderstood me.

I dedicate this book to me, for pushing through 
the pain & struggle, to claim a new beginning.

Disclaimer 

I have written my story to inspire and empower 
those in need of hope. While events are accurate 
from my experience & perspective, I have changed 
Names and places to protect the identity of those who
wish to remain anonymous.

My book cover is awesome! It is Simple but conveys the essence of my book perfectly. Initially, I had my own detailed concept for the book cover. But after consulting with some Illustrators, my marketing team & doing some research I decided simple & bold would be more effective. My book cover design has received great reviews on Netgalley. A reviewer said ‘You had me from the cover!’

Things to consider when choosing your book cover........

* Your book cover has to stand out in the world of books.
* Your book cover needs to attract your readers.
* Your book cover should visually link to the content of your book.

There are thousands of book cover design concepts so it is important to do some research into ‘what’s hot & what’s not’ in the book cover world. https://99designs.co.uk/blog/trends/book-cover-design-trends-2019/,https://99designs.co.uk/blog/trends/book-cover-design-trends-2019/ ,

After 3 years of writing, rewriting & 6 months working with my publishing team my book is finally here. I am so grateful to see my dream come to life! My joy is growing with the 5* reviews which are rolling in..... but I appreciate all reviews, let me know what you think of  ‘Cinderella’, I Wish!

I would also, like to give my heartfelt thanks to my family & friends who supported my dream & encouraged me to keep it pushing, through the darkest of days. And I give all the praise to the King of Kings & Lord of Lords🙏🏾

I just burst with excitement as I realised that I was unwrapping my memoir! I was expecting to receive just my book cover but instead it is my actual book. In the moment I felt overwhelmed with joyful emotions but pride dominates my glee, as I examined my book. I am so pleased to see how thick it is & how fabulous every decision made has turned out.  

‘Cinderella’, I Wish! My Memoir is not just a book, it is a ‘no holds’ bared detailed journey through my life accompanied by the music which provided the soundtrack to every step I took. My memoir is a thrilling read and has been described as ‘disturbingly addictive’ by Caroline Moore.

As I hold my book, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported me to achieve my dream. In particular, I give my love & thanks to my Son who encourages me to be me without apology. 

A special thank you to my Social Media Marketing coach Joseph Wright @One Life Media & @kenzlmusic.

And a huge thank you to Fern Bushnell, Alexa Davies, Jonathan & Andrea Johnson & all the staff at Troubador Publishing @troubador 

Most of all I give all the glory to my creator, the King of Kings & Lord of Lords.
