As an author it is needed to get out there and promote ourselves. One way I have found is to cross promote. This can be done in many ways. One can use their social media platform to tweet, post on Facebook and on Google Plus just to name a few.
There is another way that I have used in the past. I have hosted authors on this page to show their wares or one of their own post. In return some have returned the favor. I told myself late in 2014 that I needed to do this form of marketing more to spread my name out as well as others.
So this post is short and simple. If anyone wants to cross promote with me let me know in the comments or send an email. It could include a book release, an interview, a piece of writing or something else we can come up with. I feel as authors helping each other only helps ourselves. Let’s host each other.
I will be sending this message across my platform in hopes of getting some momentum for 2015. Let’s do this and make our platform shine more this year.
As some of you know I review books for a few sites and also on my own. I do an unbiased opinion of what I read. Now and then I get a response from an author on what they think of what I came up with. I received this in the mail and it made me feel pretty good. This is just one of the reasons I do this but it is high on the list: helping other authors out.
Here it is.
I wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for your kind review
Your constructive criticism was well taken. It appears that I did occasionally “telegraph” a succeeding scene or chapter. Reviewers like you are teaching me so much about how to sharpen my writing skills. My 2nd novel should be so much the better for it. I’m very grateful for that.
So, please accept my thanks for your well-done review. I wish you good health, peace, and success in all of your endeavors.
I’m glad to help other fellow authors. It makes the effort worthwhile.
Today is the day “Squirrel Mafia” is being released. WOOHOO. I had so much fun working on this particular project. It is one of love, frustration and all that falls in between. People to this day still tell me that these rodents are cute and adorable. I call foul on that. They are evil little bastards whose soul job in this town is to piss me off. I have to say job well done on their part.
Here is the synopsis.
We tend to think of squirrels as cute furry creatures that scamper around playing while looking for nuts. Yet I’ve a different outlook on these rodents from Hades.
As an animal lover, one who’s owned by eight birds, I’ve had the opportunity to observe a group of squirrels around my home here in the suburbs for the past year. The experience I’ve gained gives a whole new meaning to the words ‘little darlings’.
I offer you a unique perspective of the furry friends entangled within our everyday lives. Their antics and shenanigans have earned them the name, the Squirrel Mafia. This book chronicles my ongoing battle with these pesky little critters.
The book can be purchased in print, color or black and white and as an ebook here: http://tinyurl.com/k5nnmjm
