Okay, for the June newsletter, Tara is our contest winner! I’ve sent her an email so she can choose which of my current and future titles she wants. Thanks to everyone who entered. Next month we’ll of course be offering an exclusive excerpt to the guestbook, as well as a contest prize of a copy of Beloved Vampire and an additional cool prize. I’ll be going out to do my Internet shopping soon for an irresistible something or other that relates to the book (grin).
If I’m reading it correctly (and I hope I am), looks like Beloved Vampire got a Top Pick in Romantic Times Magazine for the August issue. This is making me even more excited to get the book into your hands. Hopefully, you all will agree with the review (wink).
This is just a short post tonight. I have to go investigate mailing lists on Writerspace and the wonderful world of Twitter. Yep, it’s an expand-my-promo horizons night. Wish me luck as I see what’s involved in becoming a Twit (snort). Social networking – shudder.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and Father’s Day celebration.

Congrats Tara! Hopefully you won’t have too hard a time choosing which book you want. I’m “dying” for Beloved Vampire’s release in Aug!
And Joey, if you have to dive into the Twitter world, best of luck! I don’t do that so have no idea what all is involved, but I can’t imagine you ever being a Twit (lol You crack me up). Is that really what users of Twitter are called? I think I’m too old and don’t need to delve into that for the well being of my future, but I can see where it could be a viable tool. Who knows, maybe you’ll like it and it will pay off. Never know til you try.
Congrats Tara!
And Super Congrats to you Joey and your Romatic Times Top Pick for ‘Beloved Vampire’!!!
Thanks, VampFanGirl! I’m pretty psyched about it, especially since Lauren Dane also got a top pick in that category (Laid Bare), and I don’t mind rubbing elbows with her (grin). She’s a sweetheart.
Terry, I don’t know if that’s the “official name” for them, but it’s too cute to pass up. Apparently, using it is pretty simple; in terms of making it a productive marketing tool, there’s apparently an upcoming RT mag that will have a comprehensive article by Kathy Kulig on using it for writing promotion. I had the pleasure of sharing a panel with her at the RT conference, and her social network knowledge is formidable – can’t wait to read the article and hopefully it will help me and save me some stumbling around. The biggest problem with any of this is finding the time to do it! But isn’t that always the way?
