Tomorrow is the big day. I will virtually release thousands of balloons into cyberspace to celebrate my blogging milestone. I\u2019ve been bringing you information, news and resources about writing, publishing and marketing for over eight years\u2014in fact, 98 months to be exact.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still giving out prizes to those who can guess how many posts I have published during that time. Deadline is tomorrow\u2014January24th, 2014. Leave your guess here as a comment or email me: PLFry620@yahoo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the meantime, I want to let you know I received my shipment of books from CreateSpace. This is my first time working with them and I have to tell you, it has been a smooth ride and the results are quite satisfactory. I can now hold in my hand, my first novel\u2014Catnapped<\/i>, a Klepto Cat Mystery. This book has been on Kindle only for several months and now it is also in print. Order here: http:\/\/amzn.to\/14OCk0W<\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019re one of many who have already read Catnapped<\/i>, then order Cat-Eye Witness<\/i>. These are cozy mysteries involving interesting, quirky, fun cats.<\/p>\n The Kindle books have been doing great in Amazon\u2019s Kindle Direct Publishing program. I recommend it for novels. But how am I going to promote the print version of this novel? I have some ideas. Here are 10. Maybe this will give you some ideas for promoting your own novel.<\/p>\n Whew, that ought to keep me busy for a while. I\u2019ve already sent announcements to my email list. I\u2019ve placed a few announcements in newsletters. I\u2019ve been talking about the book nonstop. And I\u2019ve taken pre-publication orders. I\u2019m sending those out today. I may see if I can get the book in local feed stores and pet shops.<\/p>\n Do you have any additional ideas? I\u2019d love to hear them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tomorrow is the big day.
