Marketing has begun

Just last weekend I experienced my first children's book author signing event, as an author! I met a wonderful children's bookstore owner that happened to be having a local author book signing on Saturday and she invited me to participate. We didn't have a lot of people attend but it was a good experience to meet other local authors who like me, are publishing books. I saw a couple of neat books and made a few contacts while there.

This week, I plan to visit a few local places on my list to sell my book. It is pretty easy to talk about The New Blue Tractor since I think it just looks fantastic! I'm hoping others think so as well.

Amazon now has the cover picture up when you click on my title and boy does it pop! Those great primary colors really call attention to the book. We have had a couple of wonderful readers leave some nice posts. Richard made a "how to" list and I touched it up a little to pass out with the books I am selling requesting people to post comments for us.

Some days I feel like my life is just a little too crazy working full time, promoting this book and being a mom full time but....I try to remember the big picture. Also, dust has always been a friend in my house so why chase it out now!

More to come.....
