Hello, gentle reader, and thank you for your interest in my books. Here are a few answers to some questions you may have. If you have a question not addressed here, please send it and I’ll get an answer to you right away.
The pen names look like the same person (Shelia Watson, S.A. Watson, Shelia Annette Watson). Are you publishing books under different versions of your name? And if so, why?
Yes, they’re all the same author, but the genres are different. This allows me to set expectations for the readers of those genres. Which means that, for example, if you find a book by S.A. Watson, you know what you’ll be getting (paranormal stuff); something by Shelia Annette Watson is going to be a romance book. This also helps with cross-marketing: If you’re looking for more books by S.A. Watson, you may stumble across the works of Shelia Watson or Shelia Annette Watson and get intrigued enough to check out those books.
Does Tidal Creek Press accept submissions from other authors?
Not at this time.
I love your covers. Who do you get to do them?
You are too kind. I use Point North Images for all my cover work.
Have you published anything with traditional publishers?
Yes, I have, and I’m so glad you asked. I have two nonfiction works: South Carolina Ports: Charleston, Georgetown, and Port Royal (by Arcadia Publishing) and Charleston Celebration (by Globe Piquot Press). They’re available to purchase in any bookstore (if not in stock, by all means, ask them to order it!), or you can click the link above to order from Amazon. Here are the covers:
What’s up with the Charleston theme for your nonfiction books?
Great question! I live here and love it so much that I want to share it with the world. Y’all should come visit!
