Sunday might not be the best day to do this, but I thought I’d try.
Wednesday is National Author’s Day. I thought about promoting Do I Need to Use a Dragon? and then considered expanding on that. It’s going to be really simple. I was just going to make a post that lists a bunch of indie books with the titles linking to the sales page. Nothing special, but it would work to get a bunch of books out there on a barely known holiday with a single post. Probably pin it for a day or two as well.
If anybody wants a book listed then comment with the title and sales page in the comments. I’ll put the information into the scheduled post as soon as I can. If you know an author who might want to be listed then feel free to share their information (with permission) or send them along.
Fingers crossed that we get something from this.
Yeah, my promo is winding down. I have one guest spot to go, then I’m finished. Lots of people released books this Fall and I’m sure you’ll get some bites.

Hope so. I’ll have to keep an eye out for them too. Forgot that I set this up before the ‘life event’ struck. Next big day of that is Tuesday too. Ugh.

Pingback: Any Authors Have a Book to Promote? – click below to go to Charles’ original post and tell him… | Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog
Hello Charles, thank you for the invitation to authors to promote their books. My books are Ethics of a Psychic Reading (psychic code of ethics reference book based on my experience and observations), and What Glass Ceiling? (my mother’s memoir – leadership, social history, Patricia Evans: a woman before her time inspiring new generations); plus numerous anthologies including 3 with my experiences, coping with a chronic condition triggered by sound, in the Black Summer bushfires on the NSW South Coast, and novellas. I am researching a social icon and requesting community stories, anecdotes, photos etc for a book I’m writing on 180 years of a series of pubs on the northern bank of the Moruya River where the Moruya Waterfront Hotel Motel is located.
