WE WON!! PROMOPHOBIA won best nonfiction at this year’s Agatha (Christie) Awards. I’m one of the many contributors to this book. The award is a teapot and I believe each of us will get about 5-days with the award before passing it along to the next writer. In all seriousness, a massive thanks to Diane Vallere for all her hard work. This book was a long time coming after losing its first two publishers and Diane never gave up on the project.  This award belongs to her.

Phew, at last.  This book has been a long time in the making. It has gained and lost a publisher twice before finally making it to publication.  It’s one of those publishing tales.  I contributed to this book several years ago.  Sometimes books take years before hitting the shelves.  The battle is won and onto the book.

PREMISE: Publishing a book can be scary. Figuring out how to promote it can be straight-up frightening. When the seas of book promo make you feel adrift in unfriendly tides, keeping your head above water can be difficult. Enter PROMOPHOBIA, a collection of essays that just might save the life of your book.

I’m one of the many contributors to this book.  Other contributors include: Hank Phillippi Ryan, Rhys Bowen, Lori Rader-Day, Allison Brennan and Charlaine Harris to name a few.

The book is available in paperback and digital from the usual suspects:
Amazon
Barnes & Noble
Apple
Kobo

If you’re budding writer or even a published writer, this is the book for you when it comes to promoting your work.  You can learn more about the book here on its official website.

I am one of the contributors to this book, which has been a long time coming. This is the cover for an upcoming book I contributed to quite some time ago. Unfortunately, the book has landed and lost publishers twice before finally finding a home third time around. Tip of the hat to Diane Vallere for all her hard work & dogged determination. 

I will provide more details when we’re closer to a launch date.
