PURE PROMOTION (with prize)

I just finished writing this for an online yahoo group run by Michelle Pillow and Mandy Roth.

I hit send and decided that if I open this to their readers, I should open it to everyone, right? So here you go, a Gift Just For You:

1. an example of a typical promotion done by an e-book author for those of you interested in learning such promo tactics.

OR

2. a chance to win a prize.


Here are links to four excerpts from Summer Devon's four romantic erotica novellas:
Learning Charity
Invisible Touch
Futurelove
Perfection

Your task is to find the answers to these three questions**:

1. What is Charity's employer's name?
2. Name one way Bonnie tries to communicate with Jared.
3. How did Bryan's arm get injured?


AND when you have the answers, email me at the address below.

THE PRIZE: I'm asking you to do some work here, so I figure you deserve a chance to win a five dollar gift e-certificate to Samhain Publishing as well as a copy of Learning Charity, my Samhain story. Email your answers to katerothwell@comcast.net.

I'll pick a winner at random from correct entries tomorrow morning at 9 am . . . or when I wake up, whichever comes is first.

__________

** all of these excerpts make me cringe and feel some nausea so don't go into detail, okay? No, I didn't include this footnote in the yahoo group promo.

    LOL at the footnote missing from yahoo group.

    This is an awesome contest, Kate, and a great example for others to see what e-promoting is like.

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
