Self Promotion Sucks

Uh, sorry anyone who's here from the link on your dashboard.  I hit the wrong button free smiley emoticon and didn't mean to publish until Monday.  The post is on self-promotion in print media (which I know is intimidating, but necessary if you want people to know you're out there, so I don't actually think it sucks, I just can't let myself think of it as self-promotion or else I won't do it.  Don't worry, this'll all make sense on Monday. ;))

HA, "thank goodness for Quantum Leap" awesome!! One of our friends/followers, Mike Wood, has a book set in the 80s and does a lot of promotion for it - if you want, let us know and we'll put you in touch. He might not have a ton of ideas for your area, but he can let you know what he's done in his. Good luck with the challenge and I love the twist!

I saw your article - that was awesome! My publisher agreed to do a press release as well. Will let you know if anything comes of it.
And yes, self-promotion sucks.

I didn't see the article yet, but I look forward to it on Monday and will link to your page from my blog post on Monday.
That's funny about accidentally publishing it though. I've done it and sometimes I've seen things on my dashboard that are not there for that reason--sometimes they were not so nice and not intended ever to be seen.

Thanks Nicki!

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

Image
We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
