How to turn a life crisis into a bestselling novel<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After independently releasing my debut book, Wedlocked: A Novel<\/strong><\/em> this past June, I never would have believed it if you told me the book would hit Amazon\u2019s bestseller lists by November\u2014but it did. And it\u2019s still going strong.<\/p>\n

Turning my biggest life crisis\u2014impulsively marrying into a disastrous and very short-lived marriage\u2014into a funny, engaging novel seems to be resonating with the public. It\u2019s comforting to know I\u2019m not the only dunce out there. And that\u2019s the key to the whole idea. Chances are good that many others have experienced similar catastrophes to yours or know someone who has. Either way, they will want to commiserate with you and happily, that means buying your book.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s probably not imperative that you transform your crisis into comedy like I did, but if possible, I highly recommend it. Being able to laugh once you get some distance from the dark event is incredibly cathartic for the writer and a great way to entertain readers. Also, note that feelings of exhilaration and immense satisfaction come when you get to rewrite history, punish villains, reward good-dead-doers, and create heroes to save the day. Never underestimate the therapeutic power of the pen!<\/p>\n

So, to turn your crisis into a bestselling novel, here\u2019s what you have to do. First, start journaling! If possible, start while the crisis is exploding or shortly after. Journaling gets all your raw emotions down on paper. Don\u2019t try to make sense of them. Just write. The journal will be a great source during the actual writing of the book.<\/p>\n

Next, give yourself some time to recuperate from the catastrophe. Each person is different so only you will know when you\u2019re ready. I knew when I stopped crying and began fantasizing innovative ways to torture my ex. That\u2019s right. You don\u2019t have to be completely over it, just over it enough to be functionally creative.<\/p>\n

Then, start writing and hold nothing back. You\u2019ll want to share every sordid detail, humiliating incident, and colorful thought that went through your head at the time (here\u2019s where the journal comes in very handy). That\u2019s not to say you will use all of this, but it is great raw material to pick through.<\/p>\n

Get the whole story down, but not necessarily as it happened. You are a writer creating an alternative universe where things that actually happened can be tweaked, amplified, diminished or cut entirely to enhance the story. Now you have the luxury of saying the things you didn\u2019t think to say then. This is your big do-over, so have fun with it! And if you\u2019re having fun, chances are good your readers will be to\u2014and they\u2019ll spread the word.<\/p>\n

Create an author website and sign up for Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads to start. Then spend every minute you can, networking and cross promoting with other authors, offering your book up for contests, and finding bloggers who will review your book, interview you, or allow you to guest blog for a day. Interact with bloggers, readers, authors and everyone who shows the slightest bit of interest in you or your book, and take advantage of every offer to promote with others that comes your way. If social networking baffles you, and finances allow for it, hire a social marketing expert to teach you the basics. I did, and it was worth every penny. Tweet and post relentlessly and provide links to all your guest posts, interviews and good reviews on your website. Combine all that with a bit of luck and poof\u2026your calamity is on its way to bestsellerdom!<\/p>\n

Wedlocked by Bonnie Trachtenberg<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>Thirty-six-year old Rebecca Ross has finally tied the knot\u2026 and it may be the biggest mistake of her life.<\/p>\n

On what should be the happiest day of her life, Rebecca Ross is panic stricken. Rebecca has just wed Craig Jacobs, but she realizes she put more thought into choosing her florist than she did in choosing the man she\u2019s just pledged to love for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n

Before Craig, Rebecca, a talented Long Island girl, dreamed of following in her grandmother\u2019s footsteps with an acting career. Unfortunately, she was cut down to size by years of disappointment, and by her first love\u2014a Hollywood director. She returned to Long Island a lost and broken woman, and ended up in the last place she ever wanted: her old bedroom at her parents\u2019 house.<\/p>\n

But Rebecca\u2019s mother, an overzealous convert to Judaism, has a long held dream too: marry off her three daughters to Jewish men. So no one is more thrilled than her when Rebecca meets and marries bon vivant Craig Jacobs, the man who has won over the whole family. Too bad they\u2019re all about to discover that underneath his charismatic shell, this Prince Charming is anything but!<\/p>\n
