I’m giving myself kudos for following through with my marketing lessons, even though it’s hard and I wonder if it matters because there is so much behind the scenes that you have to take on faith lol. Do the posts I create really reach readers? I just don’t know. I do know that my website and social media pages look more professional, so no matter what, that is a win.
What I love about the way Shelby teaches is that this is another way to connect with readers, which is what my writing journey is about. I have promised to post consistently through December and then study the statistics. In the meantime, I’ve learned so much.
I got wonderful news this month about another Scottish Shire book in the series—I think it will be titled Murder at a Scottish Book Club, and then my other publisher is interested in a haunted bookshop cozy. I’ve just finished edits for my new Cider Falls Orchard book, Apple Pies and Poisoned Lies—I hope to be able to share the cover before Thanksgiving. It’s so cute!
I’ve been blown away by the continued fabulous reviews for Mrs. Morris and the Day of the Dead, as well as Death at an Irish Village. I am truly humbled by them—and yes, I’ve cried a few tears myself over the final book in the Salem B&B series.
Let me know your thoughts—I will be in PA next week at the Mystery Lovers Bookshop for a mini cozy con event, and I would love to meet up if you’re around! Sept. 27th, from 10-1 <3
