Summer Poetry Reading at the Palisades

As you may know, I rarely read my poetry. It's certainly not from lack of love of the genre. But two very special poets have asked me to read at an exceptionally supportive bookstore in Pacific Palisades in a couple of weeks (info below). I hope you'll join us and support our efforts. I'll read a couple of poems from Tracings, a couple from my coming chapbook She Wore Emerald Then co-authored with Magdalena Ball. Maybe a couple brand new ones, too. Please mark your calendars.

&Carolyn Howard-Johnson will read from her chapbook of poetry, Tracings, Monday evening, Aug. 11, at 7:30 pm at the Village Bookstore 1049 Swarthmore Ave, Pacific Palisades, CA. Poets Alice Pero and Lois P. Jones sponsor ongoing featured readings called Moonday. Learn more at www.home.earthlink.net/~pero/moonday.html

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my mentor and inspiration, Suzanne Lummis. And please feel free to bring friends and fellow poetry lovers.

Milli, as you know I like to officially thank you in my Sharing with Writers newsletter. I always link to a page when I do that and throw in something that promotes the author who was nice enough to do something for me. One good turn deserves another. (-:
Thank you! Let me know!
Oh, and anyone who would like to subscribe to my newsletter, just send me an e-mail with "subscribe" in the subject line to HoJoNews@aol.com. (-:

Best,

Hi Carolyn!

Lovely to hear from you and thanks for posting a comment on my page.

Check out my blog entry of today for another place authors can request a free listing of their book. The listing includes a large image of the book cover, a 25-word teaser and a 250-word synopsis, as well as a link to your author Website and blog.

Happy 2008,
Milli Thornton

Oh, how sweet of you to let me know. And, heck. Why not do it frugally. Most of the frugal promotions works better than the stuff some authors pay for. (-: Have you contributed any of your tips or successes to my newsletter? I'd love to hear from you.

Hi Carolyn! Thanks for the ad on my page. I am doing it frugally, you know. I'm still thinking about the potholes you were talking about. Peace be with you and whish you lots of copies sold.
Regards,
Satis

Until then, I have one, Diane. It is The Frugal Book Promoter. It is the first in this series of HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers. Maybe until you get one going, you could recommend mine? I'd love it and I'd love to send you a copy to be sure you can recommend it. I teach seminars on the subject, too. I'm an instructor for UCLA's Writer's Program. And that's exactly why I wrote it. For my classes. It's won two awards, including USA Book News Best Professional Book. My e-mail is hojonews@aol.com if you want to talk personally. (-:

I like the title - Frugal! My husband says I need to put together a book called How To Promote a Book on a Shoestring Budget. (Since I teach seminars on the subject, I really need to write one soon!)

Carolyn,

Good to hear from you.

Perfect. Thank you, Val! (-:

Carolyn, I sent you a message at your hojonews@aol.com address. Hope you got it. My e-mail address is val@valgreenwood.com
Thanx again.

Not really. Never grew to that part. I was the youngest person ever hired as a staff writer for The Salt Lake Tribune. I wrote a lot of fashion, teen, weddings, etc. But they did let me cover some city stuff because I nagged them and they couldn't resist a cute teenager. YOuth has its advantages. Sighhhh!

Sounds as if your book is valuable to humanize what reporters do.

Sure, I'll join you on bookmarketing, I thought I had.
As a former journalist you understand how hard it is to ask a stranger to recount how they killed a loved one, or follow an editor's directive to go into the house of a Mafia godfather to cover a story. I write about that in my book.
