Marketing Work Update

Finally finished the materials for Author Buzz campaigns this summer and submitted them on time.

I need to write an article about e-publication for Mensa Bulletin as well as continue working at LinkedIn groups.

I'd like to get more work done at Goodreads this week to promote Perceval's Secret.

This week, I'll also continue work on e-mail lists and the orchestra musicians mailing list.

Life of a Writer in 2014

I love writing.  I am happiest writing.  That’s the reason I’m writing this post instead of working on the orchestra mailing list to market Perceval’s Secret.  Yes, I will get to the marketing tasks today, as well as my new … Continue reading →
