Blogging About My Book-Blogger Friends

For those unfamiliar with Colleen Hoover, the lady is HUGE right now. Her books are everywhere and her success is massive. Want to know how she got noticed, though? She had bloggers read and review her book. She sent out a whole bunch of free copies and believed that folks would like it enough to provide a solid recommendation. So that's what I've decided to do.

So far, I've sent books to about twenty-five bloggers. These folks create BookToks and Bookstagrams and are essentially making literary waves on social media. It's actually very cool. You should follow them so you can see what they say about my novels once they review them.

That's right: I did say novels. I've been promoting both The Way Back (because it's new) and Just Whistle (because I'm releasing its sequel beginning in January). Exciting stuff, right? I know!

So far my books have traveled to...

Georgia (@bookstilbedtime)

Washington (@readwhenthebabyreads & @booked.with.chelsea)

Pittsburgh, PA (@taylors_littlelibrary)

California (@the.reading.lady)

Philippines (@sjm.kindlegram)

Canada (@flowersfavouritefiction)

I've also found someone in Australia who wants to read Just Whistle, so I'm really going to be splurging on some postage for that one... but if it increases book sales and allows the world to meet my characters, then I really think it's worth it. I've got so many stories in my head, you know? All I really want to do is share them with people!

So that's what's been going on with me in the book promotion world. With any luck, all the marketing and weekly visits to the post office will pay off!
