Hello! That's great advice for any writer. Since I'm new to the book marketing game (I'm learning as I go), I'm thankful to those authors who give advice to newbies. Thanks!

Thanks to the internet, promotion of an author and his/her work is so much easier,faster and less expensive than days past. And nothing else will provide the reach to a target audience and find new readers the way blogging and websites do. And, BTW, you are a new-to-me author. Your work sounds pretty good so I will be checking out more of it.

It helps to be able to market in your pajamas via the internet

I know what you mean about the marketing! It's so difficult for me, too, and the whole experience has been like a trial by fire, LOL. I've learned what works and what doesn't, and what works a little. At first, it took unbelievable amounts of time, but I've learned a lot. I guess marketing never really stops, does it? :)

Great post! :)

Some great advice there, Joyce. I've just had my third release from The Wild Rose Press and the marketing doesn't get any easier. One thing I regret is that we don't have the conferences in the UK that you have in the US> Still I network as much as I can and have made some wonderful on-line friends in the process!

Great advice about marketing Joyce. I felt the same way...just when you think writing the book was the hard part!!!

Hi Joyce,
Thanks for the marketing advice.
Also, I too find historical figure's pets fascinating. I made up a (very plausible) dog for King Henry (Irish wolfhound) but wrote a paragraph homage to Anne Boleyn's real lapdog, Porkoy (various spelling.)

Good advice, Joyce. Promotion is so tough, especially on a budget.

I love hearing about people's pets. It gives such insight to the person's character.

Great post Joyce,
Thats one thing I love about the romance author community, everyone is so helpful to each other.
It's like one big family.
