Adventures in Epublishing: Oh, New York...
I opened the trusty mailbox today to find a letter addressed to me. I noticed it had a New York postmark and I looked at it like it was from outer space.

I queried for The Green last summer, but that was all done by email.

Adventures in Epublishing: Launch Day Strategies
So far at DarkSide Publishing, we've had two book releases, with two quite different results.
In November, without DarkSide (it wasn't created just yet!), I decided to do a social media blast for the release of Into the Shadows. I called it a Facebook/blogsplash (discovered through awesome UK author, Talli Roland). I had some nice numbers, I have quite a few followers on Facebook and had a
