Happy Birthday 1 Romance Ebooks
Posted by: Publisher in Aspen Mountain Press, Writer NewsWelcome to the Aspen Mountain Press blog (stop#2) via the 1RomanceEbooks.com Happy Anniversary contest and the last blog you visited at Cherie De Sues.
When my husband, Jeff, started 1RomanceEbooks a little more than a year ago, he worked hard, trying to make a re-seller site as user friendly as possible for both publishers and readers.
He would know.
He helped build the Aspen Mountain Press web site and saw first hand the successes and frustrations that I experienced as a publisher. He took all the lessons I could give him from Aspen Mountain Press and applied it to 1RomanceEbooks persevering against the road blocks and hurdles set before him. When giving up would have been easier, he stayed the course. When sales were low in the beginning, he created plans to encourage readers to find 1Romance and buy stories from to fill the need for romance in our lives.
Now on the eve of our 24th wedding anniversary, the 4th anniversary of Aspen Mountain Press and the 1st anniversary of 1RomanceEbooks Jeff’s hard work is paying off. I’ve never been more proud to be associated with a man of integrity, honesty and honor. A man who understands good customer service, a man who works tirelessly to provide a good experience for all those who visit the site and one who supports a future and a vision for eBooks.
To celebrate the myriad events occurring this summer Aspen Mountain Press is proud to give one lucky winner a signed print copy of DEAD Done Right, a contemporary vampire romance by Lizzie T. Leaf. The book includes two great stories available NOW as eBooks at Aspen Mountain Press.
In Waking Up DEAD Deb Stein wakes up to the scent of pine and the discovery that her life has changed forever. Now instead of the glare of paparazzi flashbulbs, she’s in the spotlight as Lovey Divine who takes it off for a room full of lusting strangers, her one goal to seek revenge on the man who turned her into one of the undead.
And, as a vampire what could possibly be worse than fainting at the sight of blood? Yet that is precisely what happens in the novella DEAD Faint when Billie Joyce comes to
The Aspen Mountain Press blog also has information regarding the upcoming Aspen Mountain Press anniversary bash in which we will be giving away an eReader, gold aspen leaf jewelry, beautiful picture frames, keepsake boxes and more. In order to win a prize, you must be a member of our newsletter where you will receive more information about how you can win these fabulous gifts.
To win a copy of DEAD Done Right, be sure to leave a valid comment about this post or any others here, along with your participant number and an answer to the following: name one other Lizzie T. Leaf title now available at Aspen Mountain Press other than the ones mentioned in this post.
The next stop of this blog tour will be #3 with Teresa D’Amario.
Congratulations to the man I love and the wonderful company he is building. May there be many, many more anniversary celebrations.

Isn’t it amazing to be married to a man you can have fun with and respect, too? How great that you are both all about encouraging people to read. Must make for some interesting dinner conversation.

Hey Sandra,
(I assume that is your name as it was featured on 1RE but I haven’t found it amongst the authors of AMP - please correct me if I got that wrong
I want to congratulate you and your husband Jeff on all the anniversaries and accomplishments. I hadn’t even realized that 1RE is still that young since I found so many beloved (and new) authors and their books on that site. To be honest, there are so many publishers and ebook-sites up now, it’s hard to keep track and check them all out. That’s one of the reasons I love 1RE. I’ve come across AMP previously but haven’t had the time to check it and it’s authors out in depth. On surfing through your site I liked the detailed categories to browse for books. So I’ll probably be back sooner rather than later
I wish you guys all the deserved success as well as time to enjoy it!
All the best,
Kathrin

Congratulations on you anniversaries. Since your husband helped you with Aspen Mountain press, what made him want to be a re-seller of ebooks? (which probably was a great idea the way the market is opening up) and do you help him with the 1Romance stuff? You guys must have an interesting household.

Hi there!
First of all, my “Blog Tour Participant” number is: 8032.
Secondly, the “one other Lizzie T. Leaf title now available at Aspen Mountain Press other than the ones mentioned in this post” is: “BARELY LEGAL”
Now, about a valid comment on this blog post…I would like to congratulate you and your husband on the three anniversaries that you are celebrating. That’s really cool. And, it sounds as if you’ve got a pretty special guy there. I sure know what that feels like. MY husband is the most wonderful, caring, romantic, loving, amazing man in the entire world–but it seems like I might have to fight you about that, huh? (hahahahaha!) Well, let’s just say that we’re both winners, OK? Men like ours are few and far between and we shouldn’t ever take them for granted. I thank God for my husband every day. We are both very blessed women!
Well, it was nice “meeting” you.
Sincerely,
Cynde (Cynde’s Got The Write Stuff)

Wow, congrats on four years in the business and twenty-four with a solid man. Hubby and I just celebrated twenty-four this past May. Can’t believe next year is a quarter of a century already. I think the key is that he keeps me laughing. It sounds like Ms. Leaf’s work, Dogspell does the same. Can’t wait to check it out and good luck with all you hope to accomplish this year and forward.

Love your concept of a vampire who can’t deal with the site of blood! The list of problems that went through my head was enough that I can’t wait to see what Billie will face in “DEAD Faint”. Being able to exact revenge on whoever turned me would be into a vampire would just about make my day…I can see Deb (AKA) Lovey Devine is a woman after my own heart. Both books look to be great reads.
July 16th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
I had no idea that the two different sites 1RomanceEbooks and Aspen Mountain Press had such a close relationship. I have enjoyed shopping at 1RomanceEbooks quite a bit and you can tell that customer service is very important to both sites. Congratulations on your Wedding Anniversary and on the Anniversary of both sites! Here’s to many more years of sucess for you both.

I never really thought how hard it would be to keep a publishing company open, but with piracy and the lack of interesting in reading for most people it has to be difficult. I’m glad you have both made it in the industry and wish you the best of luck!
