A quick story...
The other day, I had my first book lecture at a psychic fair. I was completely unprepared due to the fact that nothing was confirmed that I would be doing the book lecture.
I had setup my table with bookmarks, flyers and printed snippets at a vendor table and I was surrounded by other vendors who did aura pictures, chakra stones and sold used books on mystical beings and cards. I love the pyschic fairs, they are usually filled with such energy.
I was literally on my way to the restroom when the director of the fair asked if I was ready, there was a room waiting for me. I walked in the room, nook in hand and began talking about my work and how I was inspired by the Greek Gods to write and also how music plays such an important part of my work.
I read a excerpt from my work and immediately the hands went up from the audience to ask questions. I was unprepared for this also, but my book can have a wide audience and what I was looking at was a crowd of women ages 50 and up.
I was asked about my process of writing, the art of selling ebooks onlne, and the expenses I endure to make sure that I sell at least one copy a day.
The moral of this story is, I would love to do more events that are wrapped around my book. I am writing this blog post with hopes of comments listed of where you may have seen an author promoting or where you have promoted your own work.
In the meantime, please feel free to add the following book to your shelves and enjoy the free sample!!
Thanks for reading,
