Share Your Chapter One discussion

Hello everyone and thank you for an opportunity to share my work with fellow authors and to promote our books to other Goodreads members. I am open to any and all ideas and advice that you can provide for promoting my book. This is a difficult business to learn on your own, as you all know. I am thankful to hear what you all have to say.

I am so very proud to share with you my book, “Being Mrs. Dracula”. This is the story of Count Dracula’s three wives, told in part by journals and diaries, reminiscent of the Bram Stoker classic. I sought to give these women an identity and voice through which to tell their stories, so my novel explores the personal history of each woman, her background and personality. The lives of Valeria, Ilona, and Fleur were transformed by meeting the handsome nobleman from Transylvania, their long unnatural lives eternally intertwined. They are bound to the same man, Count Vlad Dracula, by the same dark love, but their stories are uniquely theirs.



Brave Valeria, reserved Ilona, and the flamboyant Fleur are waiting to share their world with you. “Being Mrs. Dracula” is available for just $0.99 at most major Ebook retailers, such as Amazon, Smashwords, and Barnes & Noble.I hope you have time to squeeze it onto your shelf.

Between writing, reading, and work, I do not have a lot of time for anything else but I do enjoy camping and hiking as much as I can.

Happy Reading,
Faith

Hi Faith,
Thanks - this looks like an interesting read! Would you like to share an excerpt from the first chapter? If so, I'll share it on this blog http://everystoryhasachapterone.tumbl... and I also share it via social media (FB, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn) and create an author page for you here: http://mary8078.com/tumblr-chapter-on...
I figured helping other authors raise awareness of their books while raising awareness of my own was win-win! =)

I will definitely be sharing! I think this is a great idea and I would love to participate. How much of my first chapter should I post here? Do I email you the whole first chapter for the other page?

If you ever have contests or giveaways, etc. I will donate a few free copies if you like.

Great! I just started a new folder called "Chapter One Excerpts" and that way folks can read them there as well. You can post your excerpt there (length is up to you, really. I would suggest 2-3 pgs if that makes sense for your piece - but even a few paragraphs may work!) and then please either submit your bio materials on the Tumblr site or via email: marycatherine8078@gmail.com). I have a queue, so it will take a few days before it posts =)
