Secrets, Secrets

by mssinglemama on July 16, 2009

The secret is out.

And inside of this secret are all of my secrets.

Ms. Single Mama Uncensored is an eBook dishing all of the juicy stories behind the stories on my blog. And believe me, I’ve left a lot out. Like what really happened with Mr. Man, the reason my fling with Cabin Man ended so abruptly, much more about John Bear and an entirely new section on sex as a single mom.

Stay tuned. Over the next few weeks I’ll be teasing you with more of the content…in the meantime, watch the video up there on the right hand side for a teaser of the secrets I dish inside.

And I’ll also have an affiliate program set up so if you have a blog, a Twitter or whatever and you sell a copy of my book – you’ll get a cut. Super awesome. Much more to come.

Win one of the first five copies!

Leave a comment and you’ll be entered to win one of five copies.

If you use Twitter, RT this [I want to find out all of @mssinglemama's secrets http://tinyurl.com/n47jso] and you’ll automatically be entered.

I’ll announce the winners when I launch the book on July 3oth, 2009.

That’s really cool and I want to read it – but I do kinda think $14.95 is a lot for 100 pages. I wouldn’t by a 100 page book in the bookstore for $14.95, and if I did I’d expect it to be hard bound.

YAY!!!! Congrats and I can’t wait to read it!!

Melissa July 16, 2009 at 5:46 pm

A good friend of mine told me the other day that a lot of mommy bloggers write books and you’d be next! I should have put 2 and 2 together when you started teasing us with the “big announcement”. I’m giddy like a schoolgirl – can’t wait:)

I always gain something when I visit your blog, whether it’s an interesting story, encouragement for my own journey, mothering tips, etc., so to have all the best things in one book is fantastic! And, now that I am finally ready to jump back into the dating world, I’m going to take your lessons to heart and hope to find my own John Bear!

Of Course I want to read your e book! As for you, it must be quite an accomplishment. Congratulations, and I really mean it.
