I’ve spend a big chunk of my day looking a promotion ideas. My head is swimming.

I didn’t realized authors had to so do much. Yes I blog and I’m out on MySpace and Facebook, but that’s because I like meeting interesting people. But hard core marketing, yikes.

There are magazines adds, and adds on readers blogs and bookmarks to send to booksellers, flyers and brochures and postcards and pens and someone to design these cool things.

Oh and there are possible book signings too! Kind of makes you want to hide in the corner of your room and just wrote another book.

But it is the reality. Authors need to do something and the question seems to be what and where. There is no cause and effect. You do this and that and if you are lucky, magic happen and people decide to buy your book.

Interesting.

I need to have my acknowledgment and dedication done by this week.

Ancient Whispers will be to the memory of my father Pierre-Andre Bourque and dedicated to my boys Logan and Finlay.

The acknowledgments will be very long.

Blessed Be
