The Oddest Places

So, my husband and I are engaged in playing Star Trek Online recently… it's a tremendously fun game that I really recommend. However, the reason for this post is not to endorse the game so much as to point out that support for your writing and marketing efforts can be found in the strangest of places.

We've hooked up with a fleet on the game and the guys have been very cool about purchasing the book, arranging for signed copies, and expressing a general level of excitement about knowing a published author.

Recently, the fleet leader, Paul, introduced me to another member of the fleet who works in the library system in London. After talking for a while, he offered to submit a request that they carry my book in the London libraries which would translate into at least one copy per library, and a significant jump in exposure for me! Who knew that playing computer games could benefit your writing career as well?!
