You may have heard that I have a short story coming out on Monday for 99 cents. It’s called:
Ichabod Brooks & the City of Beasts
I’m excited and can’t wait to start promoting it while moving onto the next project. Except there’s a small snafu in the month of June.
Believe it or not, I’ll be going away from June 12th to the 14th. Since it’s this thing that involves the number 10, I’m not bringing my laptop. I’ll be scheduling all my posts and might be able to retweet and comment through the phone. Emails and keeping up with blogs will be rare during this weekend. Another factor is that I have no idea about the connection availability or permission from the wife. Still, I won’t be able to do any real promoting during that weekend and that can be trouble. Probably more troubling as spending a weekend without Mr. Mischief lurking in my shadow. At least I know the grandparents will keep him fed. Bathing, catching when he wakes up, and decent bedtimes are another matter entirely.
So I’m asking if anybody would be willing to help out by doing any of the following during that weekend:
- Tweet about Ichabod Brooks or even a Windemere book.
- Buy, read, and review Ichabod Brooks. (99 cents and 27 pages means a cheap, easy read. Just like the author!)
- Make a blog or FB post about any of the books. Mostly Ichabod Brooks.
If you want me to whip up something quick then toss me a topic and I’ll be happy to do my best with that. I’ve got two weeks before the trip. Sad thing is that this might repeat itself on July 4th weekend, but there are more loopholes there. Anyway, I’ll be really appreciative of any help I can get with this. Thanks.
You know it, buddy 🙂

I’m away in the wilds that weekend too… but if you want to fire something over so I can schedule, be my guest, Charles 🙂

Sure. Not sure what to fire over though.

I’ll see if I have anything that can connect to Ichabod Brooks, but an excerpt might be an issue. 27 pages doesn’t leave much for that. Maybe I have something in an archive.

True… blame the lateness of the hour 🙂 Whatever you fancy Charles :0

I’m really wondering if it’s seen as a bad thing to revive old blog posts as guest posts. I have so much here that it seems silly to not search them.

Old posts that weren’t seen as much as they could be are well worth reviving. I’m happy with that.

I’ll see what I can pick out. All I have to do is slap an opening paragraph with links on it.

Thanks. Not sure how active I’ll be then. Don’t even think I’ll do the usual goal post until I get home Sunday night.

If you have one promo post, I’ll spread it a few times over the dates / days you mention 😀

I’ll have the ‘Ichabod Brook is Live’ post on Monday. That’s really all I have for the promoting right now. Hoping to get a lot out of it being a cheap and short story.

I intend to buy it when it comes out. Can’t promise to read it during that time frame. I’ll host something if you want to send it. Author’s choice. Note: the tenth is spoken for.

Thanks. I’ll see if I can figure anything out. I really haven’t been much use as a guest poster once I hit the 2 year mark. Written about it too much here. Is it frowned upon to use old blog posts as guest posts since people are asking for things? That really does sound lazy.

You might be able to pass it off as fresh. Maybe a slight update to make sure everything is relevant. How do you feel about killing off characters? That might be interesting.

Funny that you mention it. I was just looking at that old post.
