Today I have the privilege of being a guest blogger for author Marlena Smith! I am a follower and fan, and appreciate this opportunity to introduce a few fun book facts about Girl on the Right: Memoir of a Life Upside Down.

The Business Beast of Book Writing
Writing a memoir is tiring. I enjoyed the process, the things I’ve learned about myself, and even revisiting the challenging times that have made me the strong, thriving woman I am today, but now is the crucial time for book business.
Ending Life
While my friends and41xeub1r5bl colleagues are all atwitter about flowers and candy, date night and all things mushy, I sit in silent grief. I’m used to it now, after so many years, but it doesn’t get easier.
A Cheerleader’s Revenge: Writing My Way To The Best Seller’s List
I’ve been underestimated for most of my life in one way or another, but mostly because of my blonde hair, outgoing & cheerful personality, and my ability to laugh at myself and not take life too seriously.
The Cover is… Me!
So many friends and fans have been anxiously awaiting my book baby. Nobody has waiting longer than me. It had to be the right time, and I had to be in the right place and frame of mind to do it right.
Haters Be Damned
My origins are an integral part of the woman who stands before you today. I can’t change what happened to me, but I can do everything, including using my voice and words, to support and uplift others who have/are dealing with the same thing.
A Short Reprieve
If nothing else, I hope that is your takeaway from this book that I have birthed. And it was a birth, both in the creation of a physical object, and a renewing of spirit.
Cover Chaos and Other Mishaps
While it was fun, I had to battle that bitchy, mean girl voice inside my head. You know her, right? She tells you that you are too fat, too ugly, too uptight, too…everything! But the truth is, dear readers, is that this book is my story, pieces of me that even those closest to me are not aware of.
The Great Book Cover Debate
Does having a ready-to-use book cover influence your storytelling? Do you write to the cover, or do you ignore it and write as the story goes? If your story takes on a new life, one outside of your initial intention, do you revamp your cover?
