Promoting and marketing a book are one in the same. Getting reviews is the most important. Facebook has a group called booksgosocialbook buying reviews, where you will get an honest review to be posted on goodreads and amazon. Good luck. J

I started to write because I wanted to be an investigative journalist. I was a reporter for several years before writing freelance and teaching. I now write full time and love it. I find book promotion daunting, but the best marketing method for a new unknown author would be through social media. allauthor.com is especially helpful I've found. Facebook groups are good as well. Please consider following me on goodreads and allauthor.com and I will be glad to follow you. Writers help each other

I am a good listener. Someone will make a comment and then I'll develop it further. Sometimes I'll turn a tidbit of something I see or read into a story. I gathered lots of ideas from everyday interactions in the classroom when teaching fulltime. Kids are always interesting.

Just finished an adult mystery called Moonshadow. It's about the colliding worlds of the Natives and Whites in the sixties and present day. At heart (pun intended), a love story.

When dealing with writer's block I usually go for a long walk or read something in the genre I'm working in. Fortunately, I don't get writer's block often.
