\"806_26_8624---The-Magical-Mystery-Tour-Bus_web\"I can\u2019t believe my book will be coming out in less than two months!<\/span><\/p>\n

The excitement is building, and, as an Indie writer, internet awareness and reviews will be key to sales. With this in mind, I\u2019d like to solicit help from fellow writers\/editors and reviewers out there!<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m planning on doing a bit of a blog tour, beginning two weeks before release and continuing into November.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m working on the schedule now, but I’m open to interviews, reviews, and (as you are all creative folks) any other ideas you may have, inclusive of guest posts on the subject of your choice on your own blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

To steal an incentive-based idea from Steve Umstead, I will be offering THREE prizes during this marketing blitz:<\/span><\/p>\n

THIRD PLACE (Most Creative idea) – $25 Amazon Gift card<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SECOND PLACE (Most Creative idea) – $50 Amazon Gift Card<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

FIRST PLACE (Most Creative idea) – $100 Amazon Gift Card<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The first phase of this is this posting on both my FB Writer’s page and blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phase two will be assigning dates (I’d like to run in 2 day cycles \u2013 give folks a chance to read\/listen to what’s been said)<\/span><\/p>\n

Phase Three will be publication of the schedule and execution of the plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please note that “NOT INTERESTED” or “CAN’T DO IT” are acceptable answers as I know everyone is busy and NaNoWriMo is coming up in November.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me know what you think, and if you’d like to participate.<\/span><\/p>\n

I expect to have digital ARC copies of TPF available at the end of this month.  The tour will run from 17 October through to 18 November.<\/span><\/p>\n

PLEASE E-MAIL ME NO LATER THAN 15 SEPTEMBER 2011 if interested\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n
