After the Lori Foster/Dianne Castell author-reader weekend, I’m on a high. I wanted to share cool promo stuff with you.
1. Let’s start with a guest blog appearance. I’m over at Bookish Mom Reviews, talking about how awesome it is when someone new to my world loves my little book.
2. My favorite promo item that came home with me? Post-it notes. All you authors out there, take note!
3. Given my absolute love of Amazon, it surprises even me that I’ve sold out.
You can now download this here meet and greet if you’ve got a Kindle.
4. I’ll be adding the Win a Book blog over there as soon as I get the time. All you Win a Book fans, watch for it!
5. I’ll be guest blogging at drey’s Library on the 19th. Mark your calendars.
6. drey and I have cooked up a few surprises for you.
7. If you’ve missed any earlier guest blog posts I’ve written, check out the links to all of them here.
8. I made promo postcards for the weekend, but am thinking that given my love of bookmarks — and sharing those bookmarks when I trade a book online — I need some of those, too.
9. What do you guys think? Do you like author bookmarks?
10. It struck me as funny that I’ve done more guest blog posts than I’ve done interviews. It goes to prove my theory that I’m essentially not very interesting, but I can say interesting things about my books until the cows come home.
11. There are no cows currently living at West of Mars.
12. That means for me to talk about my books until the cows come home… well, you’re smart. Think about it.
13. There’s more of this sort of fun to come. Be sure to pick up a copy of The Demo Tapes: Year 1 (especially as Year 2 will be debuting in September) so you don’t miss out!

Yeah, the cows are innocents. Leave the cows alone.
I have post-it notes 🙂
Susan, I like bookmarks, and I use them too. I came home from conference with heaps of them.

As a reader who often has more than one book going at a time, bookmarks are essential!
Happy Thursday to you. 🙂

I’m not sure I could live without post-its. And I don’t even have a book to promote 😉

Not an Amazon fan, huh?
I think I single-handedly keep them in business.
And I know I wouldn’t know what to do with a bookmark. That’s what the corners of the pages are for, right?
