Hey Friends!

Any new and creative ideas for book promotions in 2010? Here are some of the recommended ideas I got from other authors.

1) Book signings at restaurants or coffee shops
2) Network with beauty salons or nail shops
3) College campuses ( I just did one at Howard University)
4) Ask friends to do luncheons or parties and invite you as a guest author.
5) Get involved in helping other people. (Participate in donating to homeless and women's shelters) You can donate several books in gift packages to different organizations.

Any more ideas?

Blessings,

“Does she sing in the choir? Is she on the usher board? Or is it the hussy you work with? Tell me her name, you son of a…preacher man!” Charlene is the estranged wife of a minister who is re-learning the healing power of forgiveness.

“My panties are priceless and they probably cost more than what you have on! But… my kids are hungry. So let’s make a deal. How much you got?” Denise is an adolescent rape victim turned single mother of five, and has been forced down life’s path of lust, lies, and deceit.

“I love him and he loves me. He’s just having a hard time showing it. Or maybe I’m having a hard time seeing it… through this black eye.” Michelle, a battered newlywed, who because of her upbringing; makes poor choices in men.

“I don’t know why you put up with it. I’m much too good for that! Besides, I own my home. My car is paid for. And I look good enough to be on the cover of a magazine. But…If I do it this one time; nobody will ever know.” Katrina, little miss-goody-two-shoes, has big secrets and because of those secrets, there is a lesson she has to learn.
These four women lead totally different lives while unknowingly wearing the same mask. What will it take for them to remove that which has become so comfortable?
