Interviews:Social Media

Social-Draft

Now that my book is out it is all about letting people know about it without coming across as, “Come look at me!” and totally alienating any potential fans you might have coming your way. But in a way it is about shouting, “ Come look at me!” Yes promoting oneself is not fun especially for those who are not use to or comfortable with it. However it is necessary if you want to do well.

A great way to get my name out is through the internet through my social medias and author’s platform I been working on for a few years now. Something I tell my author friends all the time. It is needed especially in this day and age. Regardless that my book was picked up by a traditional publisher does not take me off the hook of marketing my book. It still has to be done more then ever now due to the competition that is out there.

Through my links and contacts online I have been invited to have three interviews online. I have potential for a few more. This is gold, pure and free gold. I have a list of questions from the three sites and I’m working my way down. I have to admit the questions being asked are in depth and very detailed. I really like that. It gives me a chance to show Jasper, Amazon Parrot: A Rainforest Adventure to new people and maybe new fans. If not that then perhaps word of mouth. Something that is highly underused in today’ society.

I am excited for these upcoming ventures and hope to answer the questions to the best of my ability. Everyone has to start somewhere, so long they start.

Book Release: September 7th

Well here it is. I been dying to release the cover for my book. I wanted to wait until I had the date in place before doing so. The cover stirs up a bunch of warm feelings inside. The picture of Jasper was sketched from a photo I sent to the illustrator. This is a pose he uses often making me wonder what he is thinking or maybe better yet plotting.

Jasper and I are almost there.

I have come up with a release date for my book, “Jasper, Amazon Parrot: A Rainforest Adventure”. The magical day is September 7th of this year.

Just typing that sentence and reading it out loud makes me all warm inside. I plan on buying every version of the book from ebook, to soft copy to hard copy. I want it all!

This has been a long journey and I’m now seeing the fruits of my labor of time, energy and endless meetings with fellow writers whether that be online or in real life.

I look at my bird Jasper and I tell him all the time, “Jasper you are going to be big, I tell ya big. Everyone will be talking about you.”

What he normally does is bend his head so I can pat him. The reward for giving me the material for the book. So long I give him plenty of shelled almonds he and I are good.

Now if I can only figure out how to get him to sign the book, then that be perfect.

Unless of course something monstrous occurs.  Just typing that sentence about the date and reading it out loud makes me all warm inside. I plan on buying every version of the book from ebook, to soft copy to hard copy. I want it all!
