1 month until release! YAY! Here’s what I’m gonna do…
This time next month I will OFFICIALLY have a book out! Sweet Holy Mother of Moses! It’s exciting. I’ve waited YEARS to do this. My mom read the book last week and said ‘Great job! Who knew you had it in you?!’ I DID! The problem was trying to get the damn thing to come out of me! I know other authors old and new know exactly what I’m talking about. You know the story is in there, you know it’s great, but it just doesn’t seem to want to surface as easily as you’d hoped.
My dad, who is not exactly a reader, or feminine or any kind of book lover, has already bought 6 copies & reads a chapter a night. He’s been handing out copies to his friends to read and he’s literally called every single person who has known me since birth to inform them that his daughter is now a published author and they will be buying my book. Is that not cute? I love it. So, if you’re reading this because my father has you in a chokehold in front of his computer screen, demanding that you buy the book, well… I thank you! And don’t forget to leave a review! lol Seriously, it totally is just the nicest thing that he’s done so much.
Release Day Thoughts-
I honestly haven’t been exactly sure what to do on release day. Of course, I’ve got an impressive tour planned from August 2nd – 12th and I’ve got quite a few promos and sites posting close to release as well.
Here’s what I’m planning –
— A live video!
If you didn’t see my last video you really missed out. I’m sure the same ridiculousness will happen this time but for this one I want you to be involved!
———-How can you be involved? I’m so glad you asked!
—Leave a comment below OR send me an email (authoraimeebrown@gmail.com) and give me a chatting topic, a question or whatever. Make sure you leave your author or blog title and I’ll do a short promo of you and your talents.
–Show up live and ask questions or chat! Of course, I want this one as well. Not that I’ve never spent an hour or so talking to myself. But, I’ve never done a live video so I’m sure I’ll fumble around and utter out a few cursive words. Should be loads of fun for all of us.
–I’ll also be doing a swag pack grand prize giveaway to a lucky winner that has been participating in my daily FB countdown to release posts. (If you haven’t participated yet, it’s not too late – http://facebook.com/authoraimeebrown) I think I will even do some random early question submission prizes as well. So, submit your question or chat topic by following the submission guidelines two paragraphs above ^^.
— A story on Instagram!
In the tiny town I live in we have multiple tiny libraries set up in people’s yards around town. I plan on doing a story following my jont through town donating some signed books to each of these libraries.
I’d LOVE to donate your books as well! If you have a rom/com or chick lit book you’d like to sign and send my way I’ll donate yours as well!
Now, I know some of you are thinking ‘Facebook party!’ And… my thoughts on that is… UGHH. I’ve done one Facebook party in my lifetime and while it was fun, it’s not my favorite thing in the world. If that’s your vote, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
Until next time…
-Aimee
