About Me and My Book:: I'm a single African American mother of four who enjoys penning the antics of my muse as it plays in the playground of my mind's parlor.

My writing, thanks to my crazed muse, does run a muck in the contemparary fiction. My debute book is The Brekleby Press, due out in February. Natalie and her fellow reporters travel thru time to record those three minutes of fame that can lead to the bigger picture.

In an forthcoming work, Ninomytus, a sacreficial lamb for the condemned clings to the hope of finally finding peace.

(he is in the guard and was deployed once already so… Continue

Stepped Back for a Moment

I want to appologize to those people, both thru direct contact and behind the scenes who were helping me with promoting my book, THE BREKLEBY PRESS. I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was as well as having something things going on in my life which cause me to put things on hold. I am close to finishing up those things personally and hope to get going on the book again soon. I do want to thank all those who aided me and look forward working with you again. Once again I do appologize

A Beginning

A few posts back, I mentioned that I was trying to put together a virtual tour for my book, THE BREKLEBY PRESS. I just wanted to update those who have offered me words of encouragement.

It's just a little stumble.

This is turning out a little harder than I thought it would be. The virtual tour I mean. I'm doing my reserch on finding sites to promote my book and coming up with a few places that will either carry my book, The Brekleby Press, or place it on their page (small feature) which is great. I'm not knocking that. Exposure is exposure. But to have some hosts for the tour is another matter. Guess I missing the bigger picture down the road. Part of what I'm finding is from what I'm seeing on people's… Continue

How are you tonight?

In regards to BEA, authors are not required to attend the show.

Our custom showcase will not only be in the high traffic corridor, it has a imaginary theme. It will be very appealing to the general attendees.

This offer is a 1st come first serve; a book must be of good character.

For confirmation or details, call (970) 759-2869

Best regards,

Bradley Stewart

I had sent out invites to several authors I knew and my writer's club came up with the questions. I'll gladly include you in the next one if you like! (Answers have already been posted for this one.) I am also developing a list of questions so that I may feature an author or two every week on my blog ... and a couple other of my dozen or so websites!

Visit Black Author Showcase
It's another great literary site with an active speculative fiction group, check it out.

I would like to guest host you on my blog. Would your write a press release about yourself and your work. Brag it up good and I'll post it on all my blogs. My primary directly feeds into my Amazon site.

Everything little thing helps. Good luck.

Are you organizing your tour yourself? I wouldn't have had a clue how to do that. Instead I signed on with PumpUpYourBook Promotions. Dorothy Thompson, whose company it is, and her other tour coordinators worked unbelievably hard to line up about 18 or 19 stops for me, some interviews, some guest posts, some reviews. I'm more than half way through, and so far I'm very pleased. I won't know for a while how many, if any, extra books I've sold, but at least the novel is out there, being talked about. And so far very positively. That's got to help.

Good luck wth your tour.Delete Comment
