Cause I’m hearing all this buzz

Please excuse the poor joke. Tee hee.

One of the things I said in my workshop with Stephanie Dray on “How to Promote Like a Big Name Author” is that you know there’s buzz when people start picking up your banner and they start coming to you. So I’m jumping up and down this morning because Romance Trading Cards received a huge shout out in the L.A. Times article on the Romantic Times Book Convention: first in the picture and then with a great quote from Joanna Bourne.

And I’ll miss all the fun at the Saturday booksigning *sniff* because I’ve whisked myself back to St. Louis for another conference and booksigning. *brightens up* I’ll be speaking today (Saturday) on Selling the Hard Sell and then I’ll be signing Butterfly Swords from 4:30-6:00pm. Tomorrow I’ve got a Master’s Class on Keeping them Hooked.

I think I have a few of those famous Romance Trading Cards left to hand out too…What? Did you think I was above gloating?

Buzz…buzz…

When You’re Not One…Yet

So after having one person in the audience for my fight scene workshop (thank you Christine!!), I didn’t expect the promotion workshop the next morning to be packed. So I fully apologize for running out of handouts. Stephanie Dray and I have promised to post the handout online so here it is.
