Promoting can be fun!!??

December 21, 2012 By Mimi Barbour 5 Comments

 
 

Like everyone else in
this book-selling business, I’ve taken on the added mantel of being a promoter kicking and
screaming all the way. I mean… I write books. Love stories. Beautiful romances.
Let’s face it! There’s a huge distance between writing great sex scenes to “Buy
my Book” prompts.

 
But like we all know,
or those of us who desire to actually sell our work, that no one else will do
these prompts for us. If we want readers to know we have a wonderful story, one
they must read, then it’s up to us to get their attention and tell them so.

 

I guess there’s more
ways to do this than I want to go into right now but if you’ve followed my blog
at all, you’ll know that I most often promote my work with a group called The
Indie Book Collective (IBC) who puts on the Free Partays. They’re a fantastic
bunch of authors, supportive, kind and very gifted. And I’ve had wonderful luck
with them.

So when I was
approached to join in with another small group of fantastic facebook and
Triberr friends, I did hesitate before saying sure. But after some soul-searching, I happily agreed because one thing I do know and that is the
more experiences I can gather about promotions, the more I’ll learn about what
others are doing and what works or doesn’t. This bunch of enthusiastic authors
were going to get together to put all their books free, and as a cohesive
group, through Facebook, Goodreads and Twitter, we would get the word out.

I’m anxious to see
just how this all pans out. I’ve enjoyed the camaraderie throughout the process
and Kirkus MacGowan, our leader, has been super about the details and giving
all the help necessary to be sure we’re all on board.

 

So far it’s been a
blast!!!

 
You might say… AJubilee!!

 

 






My addition to the 12 free books for this promotion is Partners, Book #1 of the Vegas Series.
A short story introduction to the characters in the full-length sequel “Roll the Dice”
This book is Free for Dec 21st & Dec 22nd
 

 

 

When attractive Las Vegas detective Aurora Morelli makes a friend, she
takes the relationship very seriously…and if anyone hurts that person, they’re
going down! While Aurora may be slim and dainty on the outside, she has the
heart of a lion, and when angry, the manners of a she-cat. The sick schmuck who
dared attack her partner is now her prime target, and nothing or no one will
stand in her way—except maybe her new partner who arrives in town seeking
vengeance on the same culprit.
 
Kai
Lawson, a Bruce Willis lookalike, annoys her. From the very beginning, nothing
seems to go right between the two of them, leaving Aurora to question if they
should even be working together—especially after he shoots her—and not
accidentally! Constant screw-ups on the job and the undeniable attraction
building between them makes reaching her goal seem almost
insurmountable…almost!
 
You can find all these books on one Jubilee Website!!!
