Hi Georgia,
I would like to invite you to join my Ning Book Marketing network. I have been a published author for many years and love to network with others who have a passion for writing and publishing.
If you get a chance, please visit my blog to read my special feature called The Author’s Corner. This week’s featured author is Nikki Leigh. http://www.kathleengage.blogspot.com Nikki shared some excellent tips on how an author can market themselves.
Hope you are having a good Labor Day. We have to labor on it on Monday since it is only an American holiday.
If you google her name, Barbara Johnson, she comes up on the first page a few times. One link is: www.familychristian.com/wof/barbara.johnson.asp
Marion James (UK) and I (Texan) are both in Turkey and are business colleagues eg co-owners of a large English bookstore and small publishing house. Best to you!
If you ever plan to come this way, we can arrange some speaking opportunities for you, just let us know.
You are certainly welcome. We all learn from one another. Let me add that regardless if you go traditional OR self pub, you will, unless you are Ann Lamont or Stephen King, have the same amount of hard work. Why not do it and at the same time, control the purse strings, I say...
I wanted to thank you for your comments on my forum topic - Co-Publishing. I, too, have decided to self-publish. While I'm psyched about it, I know I have a lot of hard work ahead of me. I'm trying to learn and absorb as fast as I can. Thanks for the advice!

Ms James and McPherson...sounds like a fine wine, doesn' it? Welcome ladies to my royal home. Marion, its totally okay to owe allegiance to THAT Queen; I mean, she WAS here first, you know? But I'm honored by your presence here, just the same.
Ms McP, I'm not familiar with Barbara Johnson. Would you have a web site I could check out? I love meetings other humorist, and let me say that reading their work inspires me as well.
Are both of you women in the same country? I'm confused....then again, I can blow my nose and be confused, nothing new there.
When I read about you I thought of another author, Barbara Johnson...she is hilarious and makes great points, but she is not southern like us. I look forward to getting my hands on some of your work. Laughter is the best medicine.
As a Brit I guess I owe allegiance to only one Queen, (i.e. Lizzie the Second) but I loved your approach to bookstores. If only every author who came into our store had a clear idea of what they want to get out of the meeting and a clear proposition for us rather than "can you take my book I know it will sell lots of copies and make you very rich". If you are ever Istanbul, Turkey way - we'd love to see you!
This is too cool! I love having new friends and especially ones that adore me. You all DO adore me, right?
Okay, just joshin....but I have to say that I can't remember a place where so many authors/writers have come together under one roof and they're ALL nice. What are the odds?
Lawrence, thank you kindly for the feedback. Your words are my mantra. Life is so short so yes, connect with what excites you and go for it! Sailboats weren't meant to sit in the habor...
Yuhooo! Colleen, thank you as well. I love that baby you're holding. I just happen to be a great animal lover, myself.
All, please drop by the castle any time, won't you? Me castle is your castle!
Hello Georgia,
Thanks for the friendship request. I was checking out your sites and enjoyed reading about you & your books. Love your sense of humor, you're a true Southern gal!
Have a great evening,
Colleen
Hello Queenjj, That was a great uplifting and inspiring piece. You remind me that what you propose to be is what you become. We all have the potential to succeed or fail at the same rate. What you get is what you tune in to get. Be who you want to be no matter what, ditch your odds and connet your dreams.
Thank you for the contribution and have a great day.
Ahhh shucks Ms T, (Queen bows head, drags pointed toe back and forth in pretense of being coy) go on with ya.........no, I mean it...go on...and on...and on. What?
Hail to the Queen! I'm here too....still working on my page - including getting rid of THIS photo and putting a more "me" one up....all good things take time - eh?
Haha!! I see you are giving the ladies and gentlemen a quick taste of your rapier wit . . . Right off the bat . . . Gotta love it!!!!! Good seeing you over heah . . .
