I'm Back!!!

Ok, got a little off my path, but now I'm back. I have been learning a lot about marketing my first novel, signing up on the social sites and online book clubs. Some seem better than others, but the exposure is always good. I discovered goodreads.com which is good for recommending books, and though you cannot really push your book, you do get author recognition. Librarything.com is another great place where you can show author status. I have offered 20 ebook versions of Again in exchange for reviews on Amazon and Librarything. So far the response has been great. I will also be participating in an author chat mid-August on Librarything.com to answer questions about the book as well. I have been talking up the book with friends and neighbors and have made some sales there as well. My local library will be putting it on the shelf in a couple of weeks. Even my local lakeside grocery store sold a couple of copies!

David Wisehart has started a blog on Kindle authors and has been interviewing a lot of us. Great stuff to check out! Here is the link to my interview, but please take the time to visit the other authors as well!

Well, the marketing of Again is an ongoing process, but I will be back to writing my second novel, a young adult paranormal. I have also started the outline phase of women's fiction I am co-authoring with a close friend of mine.

Great stuff coming up. Stay tuned!!
