Just as I suspected, I AM lucky to have the support of my cousins (thanks for the howdy from Chicago, Rachel! .. and it's true: she didn't vote for Illinois's hirsute ex-governor)Deborah Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575491644343480392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-91281015727058490332009-07-17T14:54:37.185-04:002009-07-17T14:54:37.185-04:00Speaking from the vantage point of one of the &quo...Speaking from the vantage point of one of the "cousins", I can honestly say that it was our pleasure to come out to LaGrange to see you. Although we are a loyal bunch, our main reason for coming out was genuine interest, respect for and pride in YOU! So, be sure to remember us when you are launching MAMA GETS HITCHED!

(I only have 2 first cousins and neither lives in Colorado.) The proprietor told me that when Joe Konrath was there, he went out into the street and pulled in pedestrians. I figured if Joe could do it, I could. One of the folks I recruited even sent me an email thank you.Keith Raffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926077627965529183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-35945498892670979522009-07-17T11:39:56.279-04:002009-07-17T11:39:56.279-04:00My family is awesome at promoting my books.

They live in Michigan and Arizona and I live in California, so here are areas where they can spread the good word, submit review articles to newspapers, and pester book store employees as to why my book isn't carried in their store.<br /><br />Stephen Tremp<br />www.stephentremp.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-53852622836070354842009-07-17T09:55:06.149-04:002009-07-17T09:55:06.149-04:00Fun post, Deborah.

I have a slew of cousins, but don't keep in touch and I'm not even sure many know I write. But my niece is shamless about promoting me on her various online networks.

My are kind of spread out so I count on them to get the word out in their neighborhood. <br /><br />In fact there's an aunt in Florida touting my books.
