It\u2019s nice to find your blog listed among another author\u2019s favorites. I happened to visit James Moushon\u2019s blog at http:\/\/hbspublications.blogspot.com<\/a> yesterday and found that he lists my blog as one that he reads regularly. Thanks James.<\/p>\n

Then I decided to see what else I could find that points readers in the direction of this blog and here are a few things I found: author Dallas Woodburn listed mine as one of her favorite blogs. My blog is recommended at http:\/\/jumbopublishing.blogspot.com<\/a>. And I found two great testimonials about my work at two different websites. One from a client and one from someone who says, \u201cI like Dan Poynter, but I loooooove Patricia Fry.\u201d Don\u2019t you love it? <\/p>\n

Have you done a search on your name, your book title or your blogsite, lately? It can be quite enlightening and uplifting.<\/p>\n

I also found two slightly disappointing comments about one of my books. Both readers claim that I just didn\u2019t have enough information and resources for fiction writers. The thing I have found is this: many fiction authors do not recognize a promotional idea even after it bites them on the nose. While they have oodles of creative ideas when it comes to writing and designing their books, their brain just does not function in a way that can recognize, absorb and put into action even concrete leads and instructions when it comes to book promotion. <\/p>\n

I guess a new book is in order\u2014YES, an even more simplified guide for fiction authors. In the meantime, if you are a novelist who needs help with promotion, read my article, “Novel Ways to Promote Your Novel”: http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/articles\/promote_novel.htm<\/a> <\/p>\n
