Summer Musing

[Tracy Krauss]

I have been so blessed over the summer with many great opportunites to promote my novel AND THE BEAT GOES ON. I have been hosted on a number of sites, including the most recent at Deanna Jewel's blog which was fun and creative. I was also at Martha Cheve's blog called 'A Book and a Dish' recently and appeared on the 'Dames of Dialogue'.There are far too many to list, but by my rather unscientific calculations, I have appeared on 10 author blogs, had 6 newspaper interviews or spotlights, 2 book signings, and 1 reading. Not bad for a newby who knew NOTHING about marketing or promotion before the launch of my book last fall. In fact, I had no idea what was coming in that regad and have had to do a fair bit of 'catch up', that's for sure. Thanks to all those folks who have hosted or interviewed me. Thanks also to our own Smitty here at CWBM. I signed up for one of his promotional packages through Kingdom Expansion. he has also been doing A LOT of work with a new marketing network alled John 3:16. (Perhaps you've heard of it. If not, why not?!) In any case here is to a summe well spent and on to more excitement this fall with the release of my next novel MY MOTHER THE MAN EATER. Blessings!
