They
spoke well and eloquently about their company and made me realise that when authors
fail to benefit from their help, it’s mainly because we haven’t reached out.

They
do have a marketing plan in place and by e-mailing to nookpress@nook.com we can take advantage
of what they offer.

This
was fabulous news to me because as you know by my last blog post, I was rather
frustrated with our numbers on B&N for our box collection Ten
Brides for Ten Heroes. Turns out, it was my own fault for not researching
ways to connect.

**I need to apologise for the quality of the photos I took with my phone. I’m one of those idiots who push the phone when I push the button…..I know….duh!!!
** Another apology is necessary… goodness I’m full of it today!! 🙂 I left the same blog post up far longer than I like to do, but when a person is on holidays in New Orleans, then San Antonio and followed by a RWA National convention, no matter how sure one is that they’d be able to continue with blog posts, it just didn’t happen. So know that the margaritas won out over any sacrifices I had planned LOL.
