VOTE ON NEW BOOK COVER- by Michelle Wishart |

If you are new here, Hi, my name is Michelle Wishart. I am the author of The Russian Hit, a Roxxy Foxx Series. If you aren’t new, Welcome back, and thank you for joining me again.

I’m the Owner and Founder of Bells Publishing Co, LLC., which I formed three years ago to publish my books. You might say I’m a little of a control freak, but in reality, I’m an entrepreneur at heart. I have been an entrepreneur for most of my adult life. I like being in control of all the aspects of the business, especially the creative aspects.

In my previous companies, I knew everything I needed to know to run and operate a successful construction business. Even forming an LLC was easy enough. I used some of the same tools from my tool belt when I formed Wishart Excavating Inc. Self-publishing a book was fairly straightforward with some research.

Writing books is my jam. I love creating a story and developing characters. Creating the art for the book covers is also a creative fulfillment that I truly enjoy.

WHAT I MISSED- MARKETING!

Marketing; I missed the mark, big time. I relied heavily on social media and though I am extremely appreciative of all of my friends and family from Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and fellow bikers who bought my book, it wasn’t enough to rank on Amazon.

So I did what I always do, RESEARCH! and some more research, and what did I find out? There is way more to writing a book than just writing. You need to know about search engine optimization. You have to know the correct categories for your book, to properly rank on Amazon. Also, you have to pick the correct print-on-demand company. Then you have to get reviews of your book before you launch it. And so much more.

With this new information, I have developed a plan to relaunch “The Russian Hit” with a new print-on-demand company, Ingram Spark. And with your help a new book cover. Please comment below on your favorite one.

Finally, for those who haven’t written a review yet, I need twenty volunteers who are willing to read The Russian Hit and give an honest review. For those who are interested, I will provide a downloadable version at no cost with an outline of the needed details. Comment below with your vote and if you are interested in giving a review. All current subscribers and all new subscribers who sign up for my weekly blog until March 31, 2025, will receive a free downloadable e-book and audible book. Delivery Date will be April 6, 2025, via email.

Note; The reviews that have already been submitted along with the new ones will be included at the back of the book, inside the back cover. They will also be used on my website.

Thank you in advance for your support and participation in voting

on your favorite book cover. And for your reviews.

About The Author

Michelle Wishart, Author-BellsRides

My name is Michelle Wishart, but most of you know me as Bell, a motorcycle enthusiast with Bells Rides. Between careers, I was a Private Investigator for three years. I specialized in locating people who didn’t want to be found or those who were taken against their will. I tapped into my experience with real life investigations and recovering human trafficking victims for my fictional stories in The Russian Hit, Human Cargo, and Human Theft.
After retiring from my formal career as a heavy equipment contractor and later a long haul commercial driver, my husband and I traveled full-time in our RV for two years. Exploring the United States, traveling to motorcycle rallies and riding destination.
In 2022, I became a member of the Guinness World Record Book along with over a hundred and forty fellow riders in the World Record Poker Run. Benefitting Rider Down, a non-profit organization for riders involved in a life altering motorcycle accident.
In that same year, 2022, I formed my publishing company, “Bell’s Publishing Co, LLC”, to publish my work. And I finished writing my first novel in a series of novels, The Roxxy Foxx Series.
Our new adventure is traveling and living on our Sea Ray 500 Sedan Bridge. I’m juggling my time between working on a twenty-year-old boat and working on the second novel in the Roxxy Foxx Series, Monstro, Human Cargo and Human Theft, while traveling on the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) up and down the eastern seaboard.
Join me in my newsletter, where I share excerpts of the books I’m working on, travel and healthy living.
