PROMOTION UGH
Writers get terribly tired of hearing that they need to promote themselves. After all, we didn’t start writing because we love marketing. We did it because we love storytelling and words and creating something from nothing. Despite that, we have to try to get our work in front of people so they can enjoy it. Here is a link to an article about good hashtags for writers that I am using now to try to make my tweets etc more effective. As I have said to friends before, sometimes promotion feels like throwing a bucket a hot water into the ocean and expecting it to make the ocean warmer. But I’m trying anyway! Thanks for reading!

EARLY JULY release for EVER LOST plus NEW PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN
I started putting up these postcards about EVER NEAR and EVER LOST around Nantucket on Thursday. This picture is of the Bean. It’s amazing how many businesses have bulletin boards along with maps and general information areas. I have already seen sales results, too. Bookworks sold out of EVER NEAR yesterday and online sales have picked up as well.
In release news, I spoke with my publisher yesterday. EVER LOST is done with proofreading and headed for formatting! This means BOOK 2 is just weeks away from publication, not months. I’ll be sure to let everyone know when it’s released, and I’ll get it to the bookstores on island as soon as the paperback is ready. Happy summer everyone!
