A quiet book launch is not a verdict. Learn how distribution, libraries, direct sales, metadata, price promotions and a growing backlist can give an indie-published book time to find readers, earn money and develop lasting legs long after release day.
The Promotional Cauldron
Book promotion can become overwhelming. This practical guide examines newsletters, blogging, social media, advertising, giveaways, ARC services, price promotions and launch stacking—using real-world results to show indie authors how to choose effective marketing methods, track what works and avoid trying to do everything.

About the Author
I’m a recovering corporate executive writing paranormal women’s fiction with a bit of class, and a lot of sass, for anyone who feels age is just a number. My books explores what happens when midlife meets magic, and when ordinary women discover extraordinary power just when life expects them to shrink.
When I’m not writing, I can be found walking beside the sea, reading a book, or enthusiastically, if inexpertly, crocheting.
