51 Ways to Blog as a Novelist
We all know that blogging is one of the best ways to get attention in today's Internet world. A blog is a godsend to your website, bringing it traffic, fans, and more. But you have to post regularly.
Stuck for what to blog about? Here are some tips for novelists, but the same tips can apply to writers of nonfiction, memoirs, children's books, business books, and more.
- Review other novels, especially from other lesser-known novelists.
- Write a blog post using the voice of one of your main characters.
- Have that main character tell some side stories not included in the novel.
- Write about the setting - time and/or place. Use some of the research you did to ensure that your novel was accurate.
- Invite your readers to review your book. Feature their testimonials on your blog.
- Interview some of your readers: via Q&A text or via an Internet radio show or via a teleseminar.
- Podcast your book, one section at a time.
- Write about trends in your genre.
- Write about your favorite novelists, especially those that write in your genre. Include their photos and a sampling of their books.

I'm going to be speaking at Left Coast Crime, Los Angeles, next weekend. My panel is "Behind the Badge" and I'm up there with friend Robin Burcell, Robert Ellis and Steven M. Thomas. Reading "The Lost Witness" by Ellis right now--I'm hooked!

This will be my 12th year presenting an Iditarod Lecture Series in Nome during the finish of the 1000-mile dogsled race. I have lots of stories, tested before audiences and illustrated with historical pictures. Need agent or publisher so I can package and polish the book.

Greetings. If you’re in the San Diego on 22 March, I'm giving a talk on the Internet and the wired author at the SD Writers and Editors Guild meeting (http://www.sdwritersguild.org/). It's such a mind boggling challenge to be more that just a writer in today's world. This electronic monster called the Internet and computers in general have shoved authors out into the limelight where websites, social networking, marketing strategy, and presentation coaches are standard fare. You have to be Author, Inc. If you can find the energy, learning how to tame the beast can only be to your advantage. That’s why I lecture on the Wired Author.

I know how difficult it is for new authors to promote their books. I added three pages on my website http://trishsilver.com to help new authors to promoter their books. Every month I spotlight five authors on my Spotlight on New Authors Page. I also have a page entitled New Author's Links for authors waiting to be spotlighted or those who have completed their month. The third page is called Promote Your Bookk. On this page I spotlight authors like John Kremer that help fellow authors in specific concrete ways. I also have links to sites that I have found that are very useful for authors. I hope you all will visit my site and take advantage of all it will provide for you at no cost.

No more worries about piracy. Each book you sell is registered to one computer. You can sell it from your site or we can handle the sales/distribution for you.

Hello Published Writers!
My name is Nicole Trist and I write a book review blog called Books, Books Everywhere where I write all about the books I am reading, I run giveaways, I conduct author interviews and I do reviews on request.
If you would like me to review your book just come and have a look at the blog, email me a synopsis of your book and I will reply asap.
NB. I do not accept eBooks for review and reviews can take up to 6 weeks to be featured on the blog once the book has been received, depending on how many requested reviews are in the works.
Cheers!
Nicole Trist @ Books, Books Everywhere

Europe is torn apart by World War II and a feisty and beautiful heroine, Liz, answers the call to battle as a pilot in the Royal Air Force. Philip, her childhood friend and superior in the air force, is in a position of authority to stop her, but Liz is determined. Before she leaves on a dangerous reconnaissance mission, the two share a passionate night and Philip proposes, giving her his grandmother’s ring.
Liz’s plane goes down during her mission in enemy territory while Philip is sent to train with an elite team of paratroopers. The two discover other loves during their time apart, each thinking the other is lost forever.
Will these two star-crossed lovers find each other or will a war that has destroyed so much destroy the greatest love each has ever known?
