Calling All Jamaican & Romantic Suspense Readers!

Friday, March 6, 2015



Today is #BookFrenzyFriday! Those of you who are friends and writing buddies know I'm always looking for ways to amp up the PR and marketing aspect of my writing journey.  So, I did a search on Twitter and didn't find #BookFrenzyFriday and decided to make it my own hashtag.

Starting today, I'll be doing something special on a Friday. It may be a series of books (like today) or it may just be one book. As we say in Jamaica, 'Nothing tried, nothing done'. So, let's see what comes of today's activities.

As I shared in this week's IWSG post, I am keenly interested in finding my elusive audience. After so many years of writing and five years of being published, it's way past time to get that aspect of things fixed. I know there are many people who read Romantic Suspense and with over 2 million Jamaicans overseas, I'm striking out in that direction

So, this Friday's thrust is Romantic Suspense and all the books in that line (standalone) have been discounted to 0.99 for today. The reviews on each book speak for themselves, so readers will know what they're getting when they visit my Amazon page. http://amzn.to/1xSkAjD There's even a free prequel, Anya's Wish, so reader can get a taste of my writing style.

Here's hoping I reach some new romance junkies and as always, I'll share how that pans out. If you can, please share this post in some way. The social media links are below. This writer thanks you!

Do you have any tips to share about finding an audience? If you haven't found yours, what are you doing to change that?

    My only tip is that sometimes your audience will come from a place you don't expect...

  5. I don't normally read Jamaican literature, but I'm half-Jamaican. Do I count? ;) I picked up Anya and I'm sure your readers will grow even more Joy!

  6. Hey, Maurice, I didn't know that. Cool! Hope you enjoy the story. Anya - the prequel - is not heavy on the stuff male readers like, but have fun with it. Thanks!

  7. I tweeted. Great that you're being pro-active about marketing yourself. I think there's something about Friday too that entices people to pick up a free or cheap read - something for the weekend!
