Boat Launch! ER, Book Launch!
I’m taking a new class with Terri, on book launching. You’d
think I already know how to do this, but let’s face it, the ‘correct’ way
changes every bloody week. So many new and shiny ways to do things.
I was thinking of just popping the sucker into a bottle and
throwing it off the ship. You know, let it find a home on its own… I’ve grown
lazy and jaded after six books.
If all goes according to plan, I’ll be uploading A Caribbean
Spell on Sunday and it will appear magically at all the outlets within a few
days. And I’ll do some print copies by the end of the month. It was easier
doing it with Decadent, but it’s good to grow and try new things.
I did enjoy putting the cover together, and the class we’re
taking may have some real gems to offer. Considering my book will be out there
before the class officially begins – I hope – I’m not sure how much it will
assist me with that first book. But there are 29 more, so I’ll eventually
master it, right?
I did snag a spot on Rene Bernard’s internet radio show, Canned Laughter and Coffee, on
Tuesday, March 5th. I figure I can babble for the twenty minutes we
have and enjoy myself.
Meanwhile, I have no big splash to make with the new book. I’ve
thought about some giveaways…I have this very cool bead I just bought on ebay…
Though I sorta want to save this for the launch of Lorelei’s
Song, since there are tentacles in that book!
I also have numerous extra pirate hats, which need a new
home…
There are gift cards…or any of my pirate bric-a-brac…but it’s
hard to set up a contest anymore. Was much simpler when FB wasn’t such a toad
about everything.
I could annoy everyone I know on FB and send them a group
invite and just include them in every post I make for the next few days. (This
happens to me so much, I’m ready to just scratch some authors off my friends list.)
I have my newsletter, I can announce there…it’s been more
than a year since I put one out…
I really don’t know,
I’m a bit stymied on this… Tell me, when it comes down to it, what catches your
attention with book launches? What would you like to see an author do? Is there
anything clever out there anymore that won’t annoy people?
