Thanks for your advice. I'm sorry for not getting back to you earlier. I've been sick with a respiratory infection and am finally feeling alive again.
So far, I've scheduled three book signings, and am in the local bookstore (3 copies). The local p…
Hi Susan,
Your book sounds like non-fiction which is a bonus in promoting and selling as it opens up a wide variety of places to sell that fiction writers don't have with the same degree of success. In this economy, I find selling through book store…
I have the book and will re-read it. I"ve recently moved and a lot of things are still packed. Thanks.
Thanks for the advice.
Thanks for the reply! I've set up a library book signing in my town and will book more in the neighboring communities.
Also, check out the book Red Hot Internet Publicity. It is just so useful, it's the internet promotions 101 book.
Hello Susan! Your book sounds fabulous!
Biggest tip I have is to post interesting content, related to your book but not necessarily promoting it, on your site. Then advertise your site at appropriate forums. Because my book is set in the rainforest,…
Congratulations, Susan! Isn't it exciting to have that book in your hand?!

I am excited about the publication of my book through Bow Wow Books: 50 Frogs, 5 Babes and a Bulldog. It is a funny book about dating. I'm promoting it around my area and on my website.
I would like to discuss book promoting and what works best.…
I went to a craft fair and set up a table. Sold 15 books. It was unusual but it worked.
Set up your website to sell copies of your book with a Paypal account and then promote your website. I've sold about 40 books that way.
Micki,
These are great ideas for alternative places and events to do book signings and promotion events.
Thanks,
Dianne
Susan,
Congratulations on your book release. I love your title!
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm new to the area but plan on getting acquainted with lots of people. I've already joined the "Newcomers Club."
Susan,
My book. . .AND THE WHIPPOORWILL SANG is a very funny, sad, poignant family memoir, and I have found that I sell best at community affairs, nursing homes, class reunions, PTA meetings, speaking to appropriate age school classrooms, grandmoth…
Thanks Shelley.

Introducing myself
I am a native of Southern California, soon to move to NW Arkansas. I am also a grandmother, and after retiring, my first book was published. It is a comedy about five middle-aged women looking for good men on the internet. A crazy English bulldog shakes things up.
I based the book on some of my own experiences before I met my husband and added my real life dog, Winchester.
Right now, I am in the process of moving. When I get to Arkansas, I will continue writing a second book: Hornblower at Work, which is a comedy/suspense tale. This book also features an English bulldog.
I hope to meet new friends here who are readers and writers.

Short excerpt from the chapter: An Evening with the Good Doctor
The waitress served our food. My choice was spaghetti and meat balls. I tried to smile at the good doctor, who was now avoiding all eye contact. To make matters worse, as I raised a forkful of spaghetti loaded with tomato sauce and a meat ball, the whole wad fell onto my white blouse.
"Some water might help," Elliot suggested.
"Where was my napkin? It was on the floor. I disappeared from view to retrieve it. As I raised my head, he was looking at me. Nervously, I dipped my napkin into a glass… Continue

Donna Sundblad said… - Hi Susan,
Welcome. You asked about book promotion...that's quite a dragon to slay. Book reviews help, social networking, blog tours can give you a big push, and be sure to add a promo link to the signature of your email.
