BOOK UPDATE

Poor bloggie! I was surprised when I saw that I hadn’t posted in so many days. I used to be so dedicated. I almost always have something to say/write. Since I’ve been promoting Second-Chance Mother, I’ve been spreading my time between Facebook, Twitter, and my website: Second-Chance Mother

Here’s the scoop: the Kindle, Nook and other e-versions have been selling fairly well. I’ve received some wonderful reader reviews on Amazon. And some major endorsements from other authors on the topic of adoption, which will also appear (in part) on the back cover of the book.

I participated in our local Book Fair in early December, sans books, simply to meet and talk to people, and let them know about the ebook.

I will be reading the first chapter at our Authors’ Showcase luncheon this Saturday, again without books, although book sales are not the focus of this event.

I have an opportunity on Feb. 1, to appear among a handful of invited authors at our library’s grand opening of their used bookstore in a local mall. I’m hoping to have books to sell there.

I have signed up to participate in a book in Sierra Vista, AZ, mid-February. Expect to be okay for that. As well as the Tucson Festival of Books in mid-March.

I plan to schedule a trip to Northern California, where I have many friends and fans, as well as people with a connection to adoption, many of whom have offered to sponsor signing events, as soon as I have books firmly in my hand.

I hope to be able to visit other cities in the future, participate in adoption and writer’s conferences. Have to miss the Story Circle Network and AAC conferences this year, due to timing and conflicts. There’s always next year, after my book is renown, right?

I’ve waited so long for my book to be accepted and available, this is no time to get impatient.
