Knight & Day - help!
Hello lovely ladies!
I'm coming to you kind of cap in hand today ~ I need a little help, or advice maybe?
I'd like to be able to get the word out on goodreads that Knight & Day came out y'day, but I'm not sure how to. I know - I should know this stuff!
I'm far too english and awkward to go and splash it all over the forums, it feels like waving my knickers over my head in public and I don't want to piss people off by shouting 'read my book!'. But all the same... I'd dearly love it if they would, lol!
If anyone has any ideas or thoughts on what goodreads users would appreciate, or thread recommendations I should look at and be brave enough to post in, I'd be forever grateful for your advice.
I love, love, love writing these books, but when it comes to marketing, I truly suck!
Much love,
Kitty xx

Thanks so much Julie. You're right, I need to be brave and jsust ask people and get over the fact it feels cheeky, lol! Kitty xx
I've posted it on our Amazon thread too, and Kitty ask your twitter followers to re tweet that its out. xx
i have just posted a link on the Some Like it Hot discussion 'What are you currently reading'on goodreads xx
Hi, I've blogged the signed books you gave to us in London as a give away in promo to the new book being out over on Orchardbookclub ;) hope that will help xx
I love you ladies so much for posting it places because I'm too much of a scaredy-cat to do it myself!I've just started an 'ask Kitty French' thread, eek!
(Just don't ask me for tips on how to promote books, because I clearly have no clue. :))

You know I will always help you and your fabulous books! Pop on twitter and facebook and take a peek a couple of retweets may help :)
I love your books, I will pass the word around.
You are brave you asked us to promote for you which in theory means you did it yourself so go forth and conquer twitter and facebook!!!!!! how british is that !!!! xx
Maybe a little give away on FB and twitter ask all your followers to like the status, that should get it around
I think the first two books are all anybody needs to make them want to read this one!!! I am currently reading it and will give it a review when I am done. I am already loving it!!!
One of the book bloggers I follow posted on their site and I reposted/retweet when I see it. :-) I can't wait to dig into this one the first 2 were AWESOME!!! I'm doing a reread of my favorite series and this series has made the list. Good Luck with spreading the word, I'm sure word will get around ;-)
Thanks so much ladies. I've just set up a rafflecopter competition to won signed paperbacks. I'll post about that too. :)
encourage your fans to like other fans reviews of your books - those likes get posted to their feed for others to see :)
I didn't know that Christy, thank you! <3
Hi Kitty, big fan of the series. I didn't even know a third one was coming, so I'll be adding it to my xmas wish list post haste! Another of my favorite authors (who writes in totally different genres, just fyi) also blogs about being an indie author versus traditional publishing, tips and tricks of the trade, etc. You might find her blog interesting, especially these two posts about word-of-mouth and discoverability:http://kriswrites.com/2013/05/22/the-...

Good luck!
Brilliant - will go and read now. Thank you! xx
Wait, WHAT!! The third book is out?!?!?! Like now??? Oh, you sooo need to splash this all over the forums and anywhere else you can! You'd be doing your fans a HUGE favor. Fortunately, I just got around to hitting the "become a "fan" button on my favorite authors on Goodreads this evening... otherwise I would have never seen this. I rely on Amazon and Goodreads to suggest books to read based on what I've already read... a lot of good that did for Knight and Day. I'm soooo excited to read this!!! Getting it right now!!
Thank you Elizabeth! :) I hope you enjoy reading it. xThat's the prob really, getting the word out. I'm trying to shake off my english reserve and wave my knickers a bit more, lol!

I can see you waving your knickers from here !! Don't catch a cold !!
You could look through your "fans" on Goodreads and ask some of them to review "Knight & Day" for you. This review then gets automatically posted to all that person's "friends". It could start the ball rolling. I've often seen other authors offer free copies of their book in exchange for a review.
You could also target specific Goodreads Erotica "Groups".
Love ya
Julie
