Hello Interesting profile , I noted you were in Cotati' in good ole California. Here is another venue for a page/promotion you might consider

Check out http://CaliforniaShout.ning.com for Californians...I noticed a few writers groups needing help/ lol

Thanks for the message, Karen.
We have been away. As we had to travel to a rather sad funeral (sad in the sense because she was so much younger than us - the age of our sons' generation) we stayed on in Derbyshire for a 10 day caravan break. It gave me time to think about what I am doing and what really matters in life. publishing and marketing came low on the list! Writing? At this moment in time I am wondering why I do it. Life is for living not sitting in front of a computer!

Thanks so much for the vote Karen. I'll be sure to let you know the result.

Best regards

Brian

Impressive awards, qualifications and experience, Karen. And oh, what beautiful hair! I sure could do with a little of it to stick on top of my head. (Now that has given me an idea for a short story)

You're welcome! It is so great to interact with other writers.

Thanks for the payloadz advice. I'll go check it out.

Yes, providing booksellers buy my book from the distributor. I plan on doing some school and bookstore visits, which should help locally. I've wanted to go to some book festivals w/in my area, but at this point, with my husband's work being slow, that is not a possibility.

Sounds like it has worked very well for you. What about book sales?

Thanks, Karen. I'll check her out.

Thanks, Karen. I've never heard of payloadz.com and hadn't considered hiring an online pr person. Was it very expensive? What sort of results have you seen from working on the marketing/promo on your own as opposed to using someone?

Hi Karen, Thanks for the information. As I said, my book has been offered as a Kindle upload for about 6 months now. I also have apps on the iPhone and iTouch through the Kindle app and one specifically for my book. I am very much involved in the coming ebook revolution.

Thank you, Karen!

Me Ambitious? I can't hold a candle to you! My book has been self published but I am also giving it away in many forms, downloadable PDF from my sight and many others, serial podcast from my sight and Podiobooks.com and is Kindle, iPhone and iTouch ready. Go to my site to see what and where.

Thanks, Karen. I'm very excited about my new book, but a bit of the thrill has dimmed while working through the promotional/marketing aspects of the thing.

Still, I can't wait for the moment when my first book arrives and I hold it in my hot little hands! I can't imagine a bigger high!

Thanks for adding me Karen.

Best regards

Brian

Tried to add you as a friend but I've used up my allotted number of invites it seems. Feel free to add me if you wish Karen.

Brian

Thanks a lot for your kind congratulations Karen.
