Obsessed with Celebrities
Monday, Aug. 16 is the release date of my second novel, (an ebook), Celebrities for Breakfast. Yay!! Anyone who has ever been (or knows someone who is) obsessed with celebrities will relate to the characters and situations in this romantic comedy.
I am no longer considered a “debut author,” so marketing plans and efforts for this one will be slightly different. In fact, they will be easier in some ways, and more difficult in others.
Since I already have my social networking in place, I won’t be spending time developing or collecting fans/followers on a new Facebook or Twitter page. However, I still need to put my social networking to work. With a Goodreads.com profile, a BookBuzzr widget, and this blog, I am in a better position now to promote a new novel.
On Goodreads, both of my novels are listed, as well as a long-term giveaway for my children’s book, The Moose Next Door. Each book helps promote the other, especially if a reader pulls up my author page.
Bookbuzzr offers a flip-book graphic for both books, which allows readers to read an excerpt for each.
I am new to blogging– and constantly learning ways to draw attention to it. I have started tagging my posts, and hope that will help random searchers find me.
I also continuously promote my novels on multiple message boards. The word spreads, and people buy a book and write a review.
New bookmarks, (printed on both sides– one for each novel), make great handouts at events. Facebook “fans” who have agreed to help promote Celebrities for Breakfast, have volunteered to post a link the night before or day of launch. (Thank you all)!
As with my first novel, ebook sales must be high to ensure a paperback version. It’s impossible to say how well this one will do, at least until it’s out in the world. My publisher and I will be watching…
