http://www.africanloft.com/a-heart-to-mend-myne-whitman-talks-about-her-new-book/: I was excited when I heard of Myne Whitman’s novel, “A heart to mend”. Written by a Nigerian — under the pan name “Myne Whitman”, with Nigerian characters and setting, “A heart to mend” is a fun and fast read. Myne Whitman was happy to talk to us about her book during the Christmas season. Enjoy the interview!

http://www.jaguda.com/2009/12/29/jaguda-interviews-myne-whitman-author-of-a-heart-to-mend/: I know growing up you must've been exposed to a good number of books and authors. From a literature standpoint, who would you say has been your biggest influence?

I wouldn't say I have a single influence, as I have read so widely, but some authors that come to mind are Barbara Cartland, Francine Rivers, Sidney Sheldon, Flora Nwapa, Buchi Emecheta, Cyprian Ekwensi, and more recently Chimamanda Adichie and Jude Dibia. Of all them I identify most strongly with Buchi Emechetas books.

Book now on AMAZON!

OK we're getting there small small. So right now, the book is available in the following places online. I think this is just in time because the book will make perfect Valentine's day gifts (hint**hint, LOL.)

Thank you all once again. I am grateful for your support, it motivates me to do more.

Thank you Kay29.

The main tip is to get online and on the internet. You have to create a platform for yourself and get readership first.

After that, you can use any of the self publishing technologies available. There is Lulu, Createspace via Amazon, or Authorhouse, etc. If you want to make it only eBooks, it's the same thing too, in this case you can add kindle too.

Down memory lane. Thank you guys!
