Just returned from a four-day trip to Cincinnati, Ohio. Becky and I attended a Faith Based Travel Seminar which included the following events. We had dinner on a River Boat, spent an afternoon at the ARK, visited the Creation, two Catholic Cathedral Basilica’s and a Sign Museum. It was a very interesting trip meeting several people who are involved in the travel business. Also had the opportunity to promote my book.
Well, the big event is now on the docket. We leave for Long Island to promote my book at several Meet the Author Events. You can find the schedule on the Events Page. I’m excited but also nervous as it is the first book signing events I’m doing. There have been two articles written about me and my book tour in the Suffolk Times and Long Island Press on Long Island. I have quarter page ads running in both the Suffolk Times and Newsday. Newsday is running digital ads for a week. Northforker has notices on their event page showing the Meet the Author Events scheduled. Hope all this helps getting the word out about my book?
I received my first quarterly report from the publisher on the number of books sold. It wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be. Total sales since the book came out in late March stands at plus 50 sold in hardcover, paperback and eBook. My social media campaign which started in late June and the book tour hopefully will help get the exposure I need to promote my book. Unfortunately, I’ll not know how successfully the promotion was until October when I get the next quarterly report from my publisher.
While on the book tour I plan to take numerous pictures that relate to the scenes depicted in the book. I’ll post some of them on my Website, Facebook and Instagram. Stay tuned, the journey continues. By the way, Love on the Rebound, is now in its final stage of book cover. Should be out soon.
