On the same page

Today was an odd day, sprinkled with unrelated events. First a meeting with the printers to finalize the posters, they should be ready this weekend! Then a dentist appointment, then a series of random meetings, then an earthquake, then the delivery of my book marks. So to recap, good, meh, meh, yikes, and then YEA! Crazy day.

Ever wonder what 2,000 book marks would look like? Me too! And PS they weigh a ton too!

(I guess the earthquake damaged the server becuase this picture was not posted upside down!)

Close up

The book marks will be featured as part of my book giveaway coming up next month on Goodreads. The Giveaway winners will receive a signed copy of A Marked Past with a custom bookmark included.

I’m also working with Amazon and café Press to offer special items like signed copies of the book with a bookmark, t-shirts, hoodies, and some other fun stuff. I’ll keep you posted on these items as more details are available. Until then, keep watching the A Marked Past website for the trailer release!

Busy busy bee

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I was a busy busy little marketing bee this weekend, trying to make some marketing plans for A Marked Past. The good news is that in addition to the thumbs up for hanging a poster and hosting a book signing at Esoterica; Books a Million has agreed to pass out book marks; and my favorite Chain Mail Maestro said he would pass out stickers at his Renaissance Festival booth in September! If you are a local to the Dayton area go check it out!

I’m working some more angles and waiting to hear back on them. I’ve got a call into the local libraries requesting that they hang a poster and give away book marks and I’m working on an application with Barnes and Noble requesting them to stock A Marked Past online and in the store when it comes out.

Ed is building out a website for me right now that will have a sample chapter on it for you all to read so watch for an announcement because it should be going live in the next two weeks!

These are small steps but I am so very excited to see the pieces coming together. I can’t wait for October 1^st!!
