New
week. New opportunities. I hope you’re off to a productive start.
Today,
the Friendship-is-Forever
Tour continues
and I’m spending time with Delaney Diamond (a talented writer of multi-cultural love stories) where I’m talking a little bit about
myself, as well as giving a snapshot of the racial make up of Jamaica’s people.
Our motto-‘Out of Many, One People’-gives a broad hint as to the island’s
ethnicity. Hop on over for a chat with us.
The
prequel to Distraction
is free on Smashwords. You’ll find the link at Delaney’s
blog.

Meantime,
I’ve been reading some stuff on marketing and such. The links are below. Note that I am not endorsing the listed books.
Although some of the stuff I’ve read in them makes sense, I don’t agree with
some of the tactics I’ve read about in the first. Since I haven’t tried anything I’ve
read as yet, I’ll hold off giving an opinion.
How
to Sell 100 Books a Day (haven’t seen any links on Amazon yet. The free report
is written by the author of the book above)
"Out of many, one people."
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sentiment! Love it.
Me too, Rula.
DeleteThanks for the links, Joy. Sometimes I wonder about all the "how to" books... are they perhaps another way to get your money? :)
ReplyDeleteI find that many of them contain the same information and some advocate doing things I wouldn't even think about doing.
DeleteWill be checking out Delaney's blog and, yeah, I want to learn more about you.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the links.
No problem!
DeleteLooks like a good series. Thanks for sharing.

Tea, thanks for popping in.
DeleteI think that Jasmine is making the wrong choice by dumping Xavier (that's where I am in the book). It's a good thing though that Milton doesn't notice her sneaking in so late at night after her hookup. If she goes with Xavier, she'll be a happier person. I don't think she owes Milton anything.
ReplyDeleteMike,
DeleteIt's hard to understand women isn't it. Many stay in a relationship thinking they're doing the right thing.
Checked out your guest post and enjoyed it. Can't wait for your next stop on this entertaining tour.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheena!
DeleteJamaica's motto echoes one of my favourite quotes which comes from Nelson Mandela: "In Africa there is a concept known as ubuntu - the profound sense that we are human only through the humanity of others; that if we are to accomplish anything in this world, it will in equal measure be due to the work and achievements of others."
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
DeleteI definitely agree with that sentiment and know that whatever success I achieve as a writer, it will be due in no small part to the people who give me hell over my characters, their stories and who also cheer when everything ties up into a finished product. Thanks for sharing that.
Hopping on over to check out your post.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angela. I appreciate your support.
DeleteGoing on over to Delaney's now...but thanks for the links!
ReplyDeleteNas, good to see you. I know you've been busy for a while.
DeleteThanks for the marketing info. Off to Delaney's blog now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in, Carol. I know you've got to be super-busy right now.
DeleteThank you for the marketing links! And I can see by your sidebar that you've been busy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in. Yup, definitely have been busy.
