Some things I like:
--Multiple blogs, especially during my blog tour to promote
my latest Pet Rescue mystery for Berkley --both
writing them and reading them and commenting.
--Facebook posts, sometimes moment by moment.
--Email from strangers--some, at least.
Sound odd? I don't
think so!
Why? Because I love,
and appreciate, other authors, and readers, who all join together in a
loosely-knit, huge community to enjoy, promote, review and discuss books!
Now that I'm one of the Midnight Ink authors, I'm
particularly appreciative of how great and supportive this group is.
We writers do need to get the word out about our stories to
existing and potentially new readers.
Social media can really help with that, and despite how long I've been
at this I feel as if I'm still a novice.
That's one reason I particularly appreciate being here with other
authors with whom I identify and who also seem to empathize with me. And share ideas. And write such fun books that I enjoy
reading!
And readers? Thanks
for checking up on us. And also passing
the word along to your friends who like the same kinds of stories as you
do. And being among those people I don't know who
send me emails about my stories.
I'm still a newbie with Midnight Ink, of course. The first in my new Superstition Mystery
Series, LOST UNDER A LADDER, will be an October 2014 release. But it's a lot of fun to let people know in
advance. Of course I'll do even more as
October approaches, but starting now works well, too.
Before that, I'll have a couple of stories in my Harlequin
Nocturne Alpha Force miniseries published about a covert military unit of
shapeshifters. I'll have some fun with
them, too, in social media.
But, finger crossed, I'm really looking forward to the
release of LOST UNDER A LADDER and letting people know it's on the way!
