Ditto what Lena said.

Tina,

Thanks for asking. My novel is The Gift Counselor, a Christmas story in paperback and kindle formats. I'm working on the sequel, Best of All Gifts. Have also published short stories in Heart Shaped: a collection of short romances, kindle only.

Mystery/comedy is a fave genre. So exciting about your movie! Glad you invited us to be part of the GIFT bags!!!

I too am happy to donate a signed copy of my historical novel, The Lost Diaries of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Let me know where to send it and by what date. You can contact me at: jsbates2@sbcglobal.net.

Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of your promotion.

Re: Oct. 2nd, B&B, Day celebration: Long story shortened, I'll be running a FB and Twitter thread on the Day (most activity for me will be Sun. about 1 to 3 est - adjust to your time zone but you can go on any time). Should you like to pop in and wish the Inn-dustry well etc., feel free to do so. At least it will put your name out and offer a little exposure. Then circle back and post a link to your book, website, whatever so long it's short and sweet and we don't appear to be there only to sell or promote ourselves. It's about the Inn-dustry and their guests. Relax, be polite...they will remember you and we've got to leave a fine impression. If you want to offer a book giveaway, you're free to do so just go easy. The hospitality industry is not real giving of their monies as it is a tough economy and many are feeling the pinch. You'll just handle it one on one directly with interested party. Don't be discouraged if you get no bites. I've spoken, written, contacted three major B&B, Inn sites and got not one penny to help me promote them. Anyway, I won't get involved with your transaction. Actually, it's easier that way. And I won't be in the way or assume any responsibility. I need to put disclaimer out there. Okay, I'll get links and post them here.

Oh, it might be a good idea to know what a B&B, Inn is and the concept. Just like research in writing our books, it feels more real when we post or chat about it.

Okay, I'll get back with the links. Inn-joy.

Here's the FB link- Happy B&B, Inn Day-10/2 C&P it to FB and it should open to the B&B, Inn Day page. If it doesn't work, tyr typing it in on the search field and maybe it'll open that way. It should as it's an open group, page.

Twitter - https://twitter.com/TinasSeries At least this one has a link. Now so it works. lol

Note: Only B&B, Inn material will be up on the Day, other stuff will be removed. All our posts will knock old material down or off.

You need to make this simpler to understand. I mean 1-when 2-where, 3 how much?
People have short attention span these days and this email won't be read by so many. They can't see immediately what you are selling here.

[Tina]

Hi Peyton, I need to give this much information in order for those who are interested to have something to go on.
The when is there - Oct 2nd 1- 3,
Where also there - FB and Twitter, I've provided page name and link
How - just post. Ex. is there.
I'm pedaling as fast as I can, doing this all on my own.
I can't help for short attention spans. I wish I could indulge in one right now. Gotta go. Much to do. Thanks.

Lena, started running ad early this morn as prompt suggested it. In just a few hours we've had 300 hits. Not bad for low budget, short run etc. That's 300 sets of eyes (kind more likely to read books) to see what's going on. Anytime you'd like to get over there or on Twitter, feel free, post away. Something like: Best wishes, have a nice day, I'm so & so and I've a book out by the name of ____. Nice weather to Inn-joy reading etc. post thumbnail photos, title. Short & sweet. Never know. Good luck everyone!

Link didn't work but here's page title. Happy B&B, Inn Day-10/2 Go forth and promote thyselves! Free is good. Go get 'em.

B&B, Inn Day was a hit! FB ad got over 1,800 posts and they're still comin'. Promo like this an author cannot buy. As self-published authors (those who are) we know exposure is hard to come by. When opportunity calls, we answer. Best wishes! ;-)

[Sheila]

Congrats, Tina. Thanks for including goodreads authors! I'm not on FB but I know twitter got attention, too! Maybe you can rest in a beautiful country inn tonight. there are so many to choose from!

[Tina]

Hey, Sheila! Was that you? You look familiar but after all that social networking, I'm lucky I know my name. FB or Twitter, it was all good. I'd love a stay at a country inn but that's not in the cards right now. lol Someday soon, I hope.

Hey, thanks for reaching out. It's good to know that efforts are helpful to someone. If there are any new events, I'll let you know. ;-) Thanks again. Best!
