With all the published Book of Shadows out there, many of which are authored by famous Wiccans and Pagans, why should anyone buy my ebook of shadows, Out of the Shadows and Into the Light? I'm not famous--at least not yet. I don't belong to a coven or church. The training I've had hasn't been structured or formal; I didn't go into a classroom to be taught by Lord or Lady High Priestess or Priest. None of this was around when I started down the path.

Both are excellent ways to not only keep your current readership up to date with your work, but to post promotional information, articles, and personal interests.

Virtual Book Tours: A New Promotional Tool For Authors

By

Theresa Chaze

Virtual Book Tours are the newest marketing opportunity for authors. With traditionally book tours, authors travel from town to town doing book signings and doing interviews to publicize their books. Although the process is very effective, it also involves great expense, travel and time. Virtual book tours essentially do the same; however, instead of the authors physically traveling to bookstores,…

Once God put things in motion those who once complained about stagnation more often than not find themselves fighting to keep up. I am totally amazed at the bulb that my Father has grown from a seed that was planted only two months ago.

I have my page proofs and boy what a sight. Seeing the dedication to my son is amazing and seeing the smile that comes across his face once from reading it is…
