This may not classify as paranormal subject matter to you, but it certainly feels paranormal to me! The project manager at BooksOnBoard (BoB), the largest indie bookstore online, contacted me yesterday to ask if I’d like to be exclusively featured by them for an entire week, to kick-off their October YA paranormal book promotion.
Hmmm, I’d have to think about that…”YES…YES…YES,” I shouted, much like Meg Ryan faking the big O in When Harry Met Sally.
Little did I realize what type of frenzy was about to ensue! On @booksonboard (their twitter account), they confided they would be doing “flash” giveaways of my novel, beginning as early as today. “Well,” I told the projects manager, “I’m not sure I want my book flashed. It’s a YA book, after all, and I don’t know how I feel about you flashing it for all the world to see!”
Then, they explained that flashing Time Warped was not inappropriate at all, and it would actually help to sell my new teen novel in a really big way. Of course I agreed. They had me at “…sell my new teen novel in a really big way.”
They had me at “…sell my new teen novel in a really big way.”
So, here’s the details of how this will all go down. Beginning 9/30 (Today) and lasting all of next week, much hoopla will be made across BoB’s social platforms, which include: Twitter, FB & Tumbler. There will be a big to-do on their website too at: BooksOnBoard.com. They’ve designed a special author page, just for moi, with a Q&A on it too. Perfect, I thought, cause I have so many unanswered questions I’ve been wanting to ask myself!
Here’s the link to that incredibly gorgeous author page: BoB LINK
Warning: Those unaccustomed to time travel may experience a significant expansion of awareness. Proceed with caution:
If you’d like to follow me on Twitter, I’ll be counting the book sales on my abacus, under the following nom de plume: @littleredwriter. And, if you’re so moved, please feel free to re-tweet BoB’s tweets and sprinkle me around like fertilizer.
Thanks for putting up with all of this perpetual promotion, and I sincerely and humbly thank you for your amazing support!…)
