I'm thrilled the third and final book of The Con duct Series ( On Best Behavior ) will launch 9-24-13. We've been editing like madwomen (not much of a stretch for me) and I'm pleased with the result. One scene that got the axe was this flashback from Grant's sixteen-year-old nephew Ben. If you've read my books, you know I love to write therapy scenes and flashbacks. In this part of Ben's therapy session with Dr. Hunter Hayes, he remembers when he was five years old and spent the night at his father Logan's apartment: His tummy hurt. He’d woken up on the sofa an hour ago, and he’d trie

Authors Promoting Authors

A big thank you to Alex Cavanaugh for starting the... Insecure Writers Support Group . Today I'll share an idea to make yucky marketing more fun: Create a MARKETING TEAM with fellow authors! Do you feel uncomfortable tooting your own horn? Do you lack the time to keep your books in the public eye? My pub sisters at Omnific Publishing decided to overcome those problems by designating one author a week for some major book pimpage. How does it work? The designated author creates some marketing materials and shares them with our closed Facebook group. Then other authors in the group promote that author throughout the week.  Here are the various marketing strategies: 1) Tweets . The author creates tweets like: Friendship is the best kind of ship. #NA #Navy #swimming #romance STREAMLINE by @JenLaneBooks http://amzn.to/1928OMJ #HotMenInUniform ...and her fellow authors tweet like crazy. 2) Goodreads . We "like" the 4 star and
