Ye Gads Curt...what did you go and do?

[Penelope]

Wow that statement was a cliff-hanger!!!

[Bess]

Caught up on my tagging. The pages do load faster. Thanks to all of you who have tagged my books!

Has anyone used the Amazon program that advertises your book or recommends it to their clients via an email. My POD publisher charges $800 for this campaign. What I'm trying to figure out is if its worth it. I have made most of my sales through my site. Simon

Simon,
I have not used it, but I have noticed an increase in Amazon spam plugging books. I delete it unread. But, that's just me.

[David]

I delete Amazon spam unread as well, but perhaps other readers do not.

[Dee]

Wow, Simon, $800 seems rather steep. I think if I were you I would consider spending my marketing dollars in other directions.

[David]

FireDrakes made to page one for the 'Dragons' tag. :) Thank you to everyone who tagged it.

[Todd Fonseca]

David - congrats on page one! Everyone, David's book is a great read - put it on your list!

[Todd Fonseca]

Great news all!

The Crown Conspiracy by Michael Sullivan has been named a finalist in the Fantasy category and

The Time Cavern by me (woohoo!) has been named a finalist in the young adult fiction category!

Congrats Michael and Todd! That is definitely something to be proud of. And thanks for suggesting Firedrakes. I'm always looking for a new book to add to my overflowing bookshelf.

On a side note, I've managed to tag all of April, March, and February 2009 books. Thanks to everyone who has tagged my book so far. It's going great so far.

[Bernadette]

Excellent new arrangement, Todd. I have now caught up for the months of April/May for both the UK and for USA.

Congratulations on your new trophy. May it be the first of many.

Thank you to all the newcomers who have visited September and October, and tagged my books (Tag: futuristic romance) Knight's Fork, Insufficient Mating Material, and Forced Mate

[Dee]

Congrats Michael and Todd!

I have read and love both books :]

[K.S.R.]

You folks are amazing!

Congrats, too, Mike and Todd! I'm new here as of today and after being laid up in bed all winter, I can't believe how much has passed me by in four months. Send good wishes my way that I can catch up. :)

Hi Simon,

My publisher has the same fees. I found a little place called DNA Vertical, Inc. (www.dnavertical.com) that has a service where they put your info (press release, new book, book trailer, award, etc.) on 100 social networking sites for $25.00. I used them. Not sure the payoff, but ... I wanted to try something that spammed. lol
Anyway, check them out. They have other packages. I think I picked the cheapest promo just to see....

Well, I finished tagging all the books through January so far. I've been keeping up with the new submissions and am trying to work my way backwards through the months.

[Todd Fonseca]

Thanks Michelle!

[Michelle]

No problem!

[Carole]

Well done, Michelle, it must be quite daunting to be faced with months of tags to do. I see my Ferryman has gained new tags, so maybe they are yours.Thank you.

[Stuart]

Authors, writers, call us what you like; in a word, you are all the most 'genuine' people I have had the good fortune to get to know. Personally, I am very proud to be one of you.

Jo-Ann, I have tagged you as well.

Thanks to all of you, Stuart

[K.G.]

Stuart, you are a joy and inspiration to me.
Your friend, Kathy

[Stuart]

Kathy, you have just confirmed my last comment, the unique friendship and comradery between fellow writers are truly wonderful.

Thank you, your friend, Stuart

Thanks,Dee!

[Jaimey]

Oh, Bernadette, you're such a fascinating person! I feel so boring in comparison. LOL :o)

[Stuart]

Hey Todd,

I thoroughly enjoyed Bernadettes' blog...truly an amazing story. I agree with Dee, guest bloggers is a marvelous idea.

ciao, Stuart

[Todd Fonseca]

Thanks - I think I may have to start a regular feature here on author backstories.
What do you all think?

[Bernadette]

Haha, I'm not really that fascinating Jaimey! My life is quite quiet and slow now.

More author backstories on your blog sounds great, Todd! I would love to find out more about authors, their backgrounds and motivations - especially those of you in this group!
