Hi there everyone,
Oh it's All Saints Day or Hallowmas (as I've just discovered on Google). It is a beautiful day, the sun is shining and all the trick or treaters are on a big sugar come down!
I was reading Lacey's Promotion blog yesterday and it got me thinking about what I have coming up to promote. The answer? Well, at last count I had four short stories, one novella, and a novel out on submission... this means that until I get an affirmative response from a publisher to any of these, I am empty handed.
There's also that time as a writer when if you are concentrating on a longer book, it may feel like you've dropped off the face of the planet... I am currently only eight chapters in to a novel I am hoping to submit by the end of the year - it's a big ask and it does mean that I'll have to get my head down and go off the radar every now and then... but I do pop up as much as I can to keep promoting books that are already here and readable! Hooray for Beachwalk ;)
Anyhoo, my lovelies, it's time to crack the fingers, down the coffee, top up on a little more of last night's candy, and get back to work!
Happy Hallowmas
Tabitha

Promoting!
Happy Monday and Happy Halloween!
Promotion. Its something on any authors mind. As a new author, its been on my mind a lot. Am I doing it right? Am I missing something? Even worse, am I annoying people with my promotion?
I've read article after article and they all really say the same thing. Most of which I was doing. Blog, social networks, reviews, guest posts, and forums. I wasn't on forums, so I've been looking for a few. I joined a few over the weekend and I'm hoping to get active on them.
I realized something though. I have to get known. I can tweet all day to my same followers to buy my book, but chances are, if they haven't gotten it yet, they aren't going too. So, I decided to just get known more.
Luckily, I start a book tour tomorrow. For the whole month of November I have guest posts and interviews all over different blogs. Once the tours is over, it'll only be two weeks before Fool Me Once comes out. So, I'm hoping that will get publicity for that release also.
Its a learning experience, that's for sure. I'm really enjoying it.
What marketing tip can you share that has really worked for you?
See ya next Monday!
