Writers write, right? So you’d think they’d have plenty to say about the book signing thing. Wrong. For starters, it took me several attempts to try and find any advice on what pen to use, and I ended up asking the associate at Loomis and Toles. Then forget trying to Google the question, “How to…

Book Launch Party
We’re having a Book Launch Party! My mother is hosting it, and I will be signing books and doing readings. It will be on Saturday, December 15 at The Church of the Resurrection, 1100 Woodbine Avenue, just north of the Danforth. There is a side entrance on the south side of the church off Milverton,…
Ordering Books
I’ve had some feedback that Chapters or Indigo said they don’t stock the book and will not. Then they ask the customer to order it online. Any bookstore in the Indigo chain will order a book on request, but may suggest online shopping as a quicker and easier way to get the book. However, it’s…
Joining the Community, the chapters.indigo.ca one
chapters.indigo.ca is building a “NEW community online.” Have you seen the ads plastered all over the subway? They recently turned the volume down to a few ads tastefully scattered through the cars, but as an author, they pounced on me as soon as my book hit their virtual shelves. They wanted me — me, ms.…
My First Amazon Review
I’ve received my first Amazon review! It’s on the UK Amazon site, and I’m still chuffed about it!! It was strange to see four stars all lit up for something of mine and awfully humbling to read what he wrote. I’ve always liked to see how readers interpret my stories, and it’s no different for…
Chapters.Indigo Has Listed Me!
Yay! I’m finally listed on the Chapters.Indigo website! That means that people can now order directly from iUniverse through their online store too, if they so wish. Oh happy day! Of course, this now means, time to join the Chapters community, the one all us Torontonians have been inundated with ads for on the subway.
Whoo Hoo! The Books Arrived!!
Today, at 6:17 pm I heard a bang on the door. It couldn’t be, could it? I raced to the door, and holy cow, there was the UPS man! I didn’t expect UPS to be delivering this late, but I am so not complaining. Apparently, they’re short staffed and work crazy hours until Christmas, but…
Moving On
A momentous day today for me. One process ended today, and that end marked the beginning of a new trail for me. Today my PSA, Michael Fiedler, congratulated me on the end of the production process and then said good-bye. The end of the printer setup of Lifeliner is the end of his time guiding…
Marketing Toolkit Arrives
I received the Marketing Toolkit today from iUniverse. It’s a cornucopia of pre-designed postcards, bookmarks, posters, buttons…the list goes on! I’m overwhelmed!! It comes with a large instruction booklet for how to use the materials and to have them printed professionally, each on a certain kind of paper. This is familiar territory to me as…
