I\u2019m working on my new free ebook\u201450 Ways to Prepare for Publishing Success.<\/em> I\u2019m also preparing to welcome my newest book into the fold\u2014book number 36, Talk Up Your Book, How to Sell Your Book Through Public Speaking, Interviews, Signings, Festivals, Conferences and More<\/em>. It will be available in paperback and digital\u2014Kindle, Nook, etc.<\/p>\n

The book is actually finished. I haven\u2019t received copies yet and I see that the publisher (Allworth Press) hasn\u2019t dotted all of its \u201ci\u2019s\u201d in the process. <\/p>\n

I wanted to share the cover with you, but I see that the new cover image is nowhere to be displayed. Amazon.com and the publishers\u2019 website still have the original cover, which I vetoed. They designed a whole new cover for me and I really like it. As soon as they correct that situation, I\u2019ll let you know so you can take a look at it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m busy planning my promo and contacting my 24 contributors about getting a copy of the book to them. I\u2019ve ordered two cases of books so far.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I am soliciting readers for the novel I wrote over the summer. Is there anyone who would like to read The Klepto Cat Mystery<\/em> and give me feedback before I move forward with it? I know we all have different opinions about what we like to read, how we would write that story, etc. But I also believe that, as writers\u2014especially of fiction\u2014we can become blinded to the flaws in our stories or characters. Don\u2019t you find, as a writer, that it is difficult to stand back from your work and view it objectively? <\/p>\n

So\u2014if you want to read this 115-page novel and give me some feedback, please let me know: PLFry620@yahoo.com.<\/p>\n

Something I did has sure garnered a lot of attention. I believe it was my guest blog at BookBaby, but I\u2019m not sure. After this month\u2019s blog post appeared, I had over a hundred (to date) requests for my free ebook, 50 Ways to Promote Your Ebook<\/em>. How cool is that?<\/p>\n

Would love to hear about some of your writing\/publishing accomplishments this summer or little surprises, invitations to speak, etc. PLFry620@yahoo.com<\/p>\n
