Martha Tucker's Blog: WRITING FOR LIFE AND LOVE - Posts Tagged "indie-writers"

I took my book; The Mayor's Wife Wore Sapphires and started talking to members and five thousand Facebook members about it. I asked if writers and relevant entrepreneurs ever thought of hooking up to sell more. Ninety percent of them said, ”YEA!” I made introductions and the seed of a grand coalition got started. Now the members have become the IMPACT WRITERS. We didn’t start off to become big time booksellers. We started off to learn what big time sellers like Mark Victor Hansen already know to sell millions of books in a month. We spent time learning to become professional. You can too. No one takes time with grooming writers…we did.

By 2009, MySpace was no longer the lead social network, Facebook was dominating. I pulled my coalition together and I started promoting their books. My book wasn’t one of them because I was too busy teaching writers to publish their own books, market their books, and speak up for their own books. Meanwhile, The Mayor's Wife Wore Sapphires took on a few new forms… from local readings, bus tour readings, church readings, and I brought more and more writers to the forefront of their written interests. Writers became authors.

Then along came Amazon, and The Mayor's Wife Wore Sapphires played a role early in that new platform. It kept selling; then the author’s community was slowly dropping their total selfishness, and began to say, "'us'" instead of me, me, me. Buy my book, buy my book." The more community members that read the novel, the wider its depth, the face it put on urban cities—it’s politics, it’s ambitions, love, lies, conspiracy, death, and all that makes the “country” a better place to express your words and thoughts. No story like that had ever been written about the urban city—a family with hopes and desires to make a place significant, magnificent. Could it be? A model for every decaying city in America, simply by someone, INDIGO TATE, coming up with the idea of using all of its HUMAN RESOURCES. The Mayor's Wife Wore Sapphires was a dense book with heavy drama, the haves and the have not’s trying to synergize from each other. More and more people began to see that The Mayor's Wife Wore Sapphires was a rare look inside the normal life of an inner city mayor, who married a beautiful young wife with ambitions of her own. The book is hilarious in parts; it’s seductive, cunning, with murder plots and murder. Tell me if you’d like to explore that subject. Could you understanding of the workings of three votes make you an asset to America?
