Amanda Hocking used to write many books when she was younger. One day she decided to sell her book on Amazon because all the publishing companies rejected her books. Selling the books on Amazon turned out very well for her. In six months she sold 150,000 copies of her books. After 20 months she had sold 1.5 million books and she did it all herself, without any help.Amanda Hocking really liked paranormal romance so she knew she wanted to stay in that genre. She was looking for what was popular to write about and she eventually came across a few lines from Scandinavian folklore. That is where she got the idea for Switched. She was able to write Switched in a week. Amanda Hocking went to agents but all of them rejected her book. She tried multiple times to make the book better and changed some things but everyone still rejected her. Even though she got rejected so many she still worked on the sequel to Switched and after releasing some of her other books herself she also published Switched and many people really enjoyed it.

Switched seems like a very interesting book to read. I find it interesting that the author of this book became so successful even though she was self published. Paranormal romance is an interesting genre, and I am excited to start read this book. Good job on the post!
