The Romance Review Sizzling Summer Party

As an author I need to find places to promote my books as well as enjoy some fun. Woman of Substance is part of this online party by TRR. I purchased an advertisement package and then so did my publisher, Soul Mate Publishing. Tomorrow, Woman of Substance will be part of the Q&A portion of the games. So stop on by and play for points and prizes.

I also gave away an e copy of Woman of Substance and the winner has claimed her prize.

My chat held on March 5, 2013 at TRR 2nd anniversary party had 155+ views to date. http://www.theromancereviews.com/forum/index.php?topic=830.0

The chat I participated in through Soul Mate Publishers, yesterday March 9, 2013 at TRR 2nd Anniversary Party had 880+ views. http://www.theromancereviews.com/forum/index.php?topic=836.0

My web site to date has a daily average of 226 hits per day and a monthly so far of 17,567. These numbers are hard to imagine.

Thank you everyone who found their way to TTR 2nd anniversary party to play the games, read the blogs and chat. You have made the promotion so much fun.

But the party goes on until March 31, 2013 so plenty of time to join in the fun or continue with the fun.
Moving On, A Prairie Romance is a prize for those participating in the second week of all of the games. http://www.theromancereviews.com/event.php

Season’s Greetings and thank you so very much.

What a wonderful twelve months this has been for my writing career. On December 24th, 2011, Moving On, A Prairie Romance http://www.amazon.com/Moving-On-Prairie-Romance-ebook/dp/B006SHAWES was published by XoXo Publishing(TM)http://www.xoxopublishing.com/Products/=”. I hired Goddess Fish Promotions http://www.goddessfish.com/ and went on blog tours and review only tours. I found ways to have print and virtual advertising as well has read to an audience while climbing the steep virtual promotion learning curve. It is hard to transfer from the concrete world of print to the electronic published world.
I entered Moving On into contests. Did not win. I entered Moving On into the Saskatchewan Book Awards http://www.bookawards.sk.ca/index.php. The short list will be announced on February 14, 2013.

A short short story, Christmas Wishes http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Wishes-ebook/dp/B00A6GGJY4/ was released by XoXo Publishing on November 6, 2012. I enjoy having this short little slice of an adult Christmas available to readers.

A short, short read

Again I am on the learning curve of trying to discover what will work best to have readers find my work in the millions of books available.

I look forward to connecting with friends and readers and readers who become friends in 2013.
