Evelyn wishes to know the exact time and date of meeting with the love of her life. Her heart’s desire takes her millions of light years away from home, when a deadly virus starts spreading across the universe, freezing the hearts that are yet to find true love…
Hello, my fellow bloggers!
I am very excited to announce…drumroll please… my very first self-published ebook!
‘A Heart’s Desire’ is a romance/fantasy short story with sci-fi elements. Available on July 31.
This is just something I’ve always wanted to try, something I can now cross off my bucket list… something a bit different from poetry, which is what this blog is mostly about.
I am beyond grateful for all the attention you’ve given to my blog, for all your likes and the words of encouragement and appreciation. I met amazing, talented people here, and it is a great honour for me to know you.
I hope you can find time to check it out. Your opinion matters to me immensely. You provide me with so much needed creative fuel and energy to keep going on. ‘A Heart’s Desire‘ is yet another example of that.
The picture above will take you to Smashwords, where you can read a free sample and, if you like it, you will be able to get a copy on July 31 upon its release. HH69W is your coupon code to get it for free.
I highly rely on your time and opinion. You could help me a lot by spreading the word to your family, friends and through your blogs to the wordpress-sphere.
‘A Heart’s Desire’ is also available in iBooks store as a pre-order
I only mention it because, to an aspiring writer, making even a tiny bit of profit is practically an unattainable dream. Yet again, you can get it for free on Smashwords.
Finally… if you made it to the end of this post, you’re my hero 🙂
Best wishes and lots of love,
Maira
Yes, I did make it to the end of your post! I have bookmarked it and will take the time to read the excerpt later. I wish you the very best of luck!
Thank you so much for taking time to read it, Soraya! I hope you’ll like ‘A Heart’s Desire’. All the best, and I look forward to reading more of your wonderful poetry 🙂
You’re welcome, Maira! If you’d like me to write a review, just let me know. I look forward to reading the excerpt!
Thank you so much for suggesting it! That would be amazing, Soraya! Yes! please, if you have the time 🙂
You’re welcome! It would be my pleasure…
I just published my first ebook a couple days ago, so I am especially excited for your success. Will it be available on Amazon, as well as Apple?
As an aside, at times I had trouble reading the post because of the ‘glare’ in the background.
Wow, congratulations, John!! That’s wonderful news! I don’t know about Amazon… Smashwords doesn’t distribute to Amazon. I might have to publish directly with them then. Sorry about the glare. I usually post poems, and they are more compact in size 🙂
How can’t I not read the whole post of the person I follow? Your writings are wonderful, inspirational. I will check the link. Wish you more success ahead.
Aw, you’re so kind, Esoofi 🙂 As always. I am very happy to know such an attentive, courteous and all the way beautiful person 🙂
I have nominated you for the Sunshine Blogger Award. You can copy and paste the badge from my post. The rest of the details can be seen here.

Reblogged this on saaranshsinghpundir and commented:
If a story promises to be fantasy with sci-fi elements and romance in its bed, it worth waiting. Few days to 31st July 2015 for the release of ‘A Heart’s Desire’, an ebook self published by Maira Bakenova, an author, blogger. Wish her good luck in her endeavour
