Resists the urge to congratulate Carole on her new career as a comedian. I will be glad to sell more than 2 copies at full price in one month. Then I'll know I've made it lolololol.

[Christine]

Here's my something good that happened. I had a wonderful signing and reading at a library. Several of the people who showed up had read my book - others bought it after the reading.

I spoke a little bit about myself and how Beyond Stone came to be. I did a short reading from that book and a tidbit from my new novel.

When it came to the Q&A, we had a lively discussion about indie authors. They were really interested in hearing about the indie community. I told them about navigatingindieworld.com. Hopefully, they will check it out!

That's awesome Carole!

[Carole]

Thanks guys!! They want to do a fourth article with me- Free publicity!! Yay. Ice-cream for everyone.

[X.]

Great article. Tweeted!

[Groovy]

That is such good news, Christine. Good for you.

The libraries around my state won't allow you to do that unless your name is Stephen King or J. K. Rowlings or something:)

Congratulations, Carole:) Good things just keep happening:)

[Carole]

For all of us!! Keep putting your name out there on the internet and people will sit up and take notice. They will say...hummm who is that person... How can I use them to further my own cause. If you look at the article I gave several shout outs ( not the first time and each one is a valued part of my network.) That should yield more interviews. Interviews are free, except in time. It's like a virus (a good non-zombie one)- it bubbles and grows and keeps spreading until everybody is saying- Why are her books special or in my son's case- let me publish your books and see if we can make a movie out of them because you keep suggesting it everywhere I see your kids name..

[Carole]

Okay- I did a post for Spring reads on my blog....Let me know if anyone sees an uptick in sales.

I pick five or six books per month and put my review. I am determined to include everybody. Well, there are 12 months. http://caroleproman.blogspot.com/

[Carole]

You're a doll, Alex- Next month is gonna be crime and thriller month. ;)

[R.L.]

Congrats Alex!

[Marie Silk]

Nice one, Alex! It's always encouraging to get pre-orders :)

I love hearing that Christine. I enjoy when I get to read to an audience too. It creates a special intimacy. I loved your book.

[Carole]

Keep it up, Alex!!

[Groovy]

Wow, Alex, that's great.

[Amy]

Well done everyone.

Apart from free downloads on Smashwords recently, I haven't sold a book in just over a month, so I'm hoping someone buys it for 0.99 during the event this week or my little dot on the KDP report page is going to disappear lol.

[Aislinn]

I hope it's a success for you, Amy! And for everyone. I have a few concurrent promos happening this week, so I'm excited to see what happens with that.

Thought I'd share- this was from one of my mommy bloggers-

"just wanted to let you know that I loved the book festival. We found some awesome books…the kids and I laughed at “The day my fart followed me to hockey”. So apt since my son just finished a tournament last week-end."

[R.L.]

I hope Ben sees it. ;)
