  • Thanks so much to Joan Adamak for the lovely review she gave my latest book.... How David Met Sarah.  You can read the review and check out the book at http://amzn.to/1stDavid.  Thanks! 

  • I am the author of Deadly Pleasures, a mystery thriller.  My book has recently received a very good review from Joan Adamak.  I would like to know if anyone else out there would be interested in reviewing my book. I will gift you with a Kindle copy.  I am trying to get publicity on my book which is featured on Barnes and Noble's Rising Star page in the month of February. You can reach me at maryfirmin@aol.com.  For more information about the book check my blog: http://maryfirmin.blogspot.com.  Thanks everyone, Mary Firmin

    FREE:  FEBRUARY 26 (Sunday) to FEBRUARY 29 (Wednesday)

     

    The enhanced ebook version of ADRIFT, How Discovering I Was Switched at Birth Changed My Life at Fifty, is a free Amazon download for four days, Sunday, February 26 to Wednesday, February 29.

     

    Here is a customer review (from a stranger):

     

    "Imagine awakening one day to discover absolutely everything you know about your life, your family history, your very identity is wrong. Now...get on with it!"

     

    "In his fascinating, funny and frequently chilling true story of discovery, at age 50, that he was accidentally switched with another baby at birth, Al Mascareñas takes his readers on a headlong trip through growing up and growing older as he seeks to make sense of it all from a disturbingly different--and unasked for--new perspective."

     

    "Against the backdrop of mid-century cultural, political (and chemical) upheaval, Mascareñas tells his tale with a unique voice graced by humor and intelligence. He manages to skillfully deliver deep emotional truths unburdened by emotionalism or melodrama."

     

    "A compelling story and an enjoyable read that left this reader with a fresh, hopeful sense that the author's larger narrative is far from finished--that the authentic story of who and what we are is ultimately crafted by our own hands in our own time."

  • Joan, I'm sorry I didn't get my Waters of the Dancing Sky novel to you in the mail yet. Had a houseful of company and never got into town to the post office. It will be in the mail tomorrow. I appreciate your willingness to review it and hope you enjoy it. Thanks. Janet Kay

  • Janet Kay, I never heard anything further from you about your sending me a book so I can do a review.  Since you have photos and Kindle doesn't show pics good, I suggested you send me a hard copy and gave you my address.  Are you still interested in me doing a review?

  • Dear Ms. Adamak, I thank you so much for the wonderful review you posted on Amazon.com. Maybe if more people like you read the book we could sell a million copies.  Thank you so much for your time and your encouraging review, Mary Firmin

  • Hi Jan! 

    Thank you!  No rush, enjoy when you get to it.  By the way, hope all is well with you.  Last time we chatted your calendar was full.  Cheers!

  • Hi L. Filloon,

    I downloaded it. Once I finish reading it I will comment. Thanks for the info. I appreciate the chance to read it. But might not happen for a month or so. I am in the middle of a huge project and my reading time has diminished.

    Blessings

When is the right time to hire a publicist?

Have any of you hired publicists and have they been effective? Have they also worked with you with your online presence?  I am curious about this because I am now a micro publisher and have spoken with a few publicists about what they offer. One does a lot of work with self- published authors but I know that here are a lot of limitations. Self-published books will not be distributed in retail stores. And Create Space is not considered a publishing imprint for this purpose. Have any of you had…

Anyone have suggestions for getting a book included in a holiday gift suggestion list in newspapers or online? Any connections or leads you might pass on to a fellow writer? My publisher, St. Lynn's Press, specializes in books that make good gifts and my new book Coffee for Roses is in that style. Suggestions?cover_stamp.jpg
