Recently, I was so touched by the story of Bridget Zinn, a young author battling cancer that I felt I HAD to win something during a recent auction for her benefit. And I did! What did I win?
I won a consultation with author and virtual marketing wiz Mitali Perkins! Not only is she a superb writer, I am in awe of her ability to bend the internet to her promotional will. (Here is a little secret--I am only two steps above a luddite. I have mastered blogger and that is it. If it were not for my sister my web presence would be only this blog.) Mitali is the perfect person to help make my online book launch match my ambitions!
So, we met last week and I feel as if my head is still spinning! With her guidance, I now have:
-a facebook fan page: this will be one of the locations for the online book party as well as the best way for fans to get in touch with me (please join!)
-have an alternative location for my online booklaunch (for those who are not on facebook) at: www.wherethemountainmeetsthemoon.com
-a twitter account: Yes, I've signed up! I'm going to try tweeting for the summer and see if I like it. Please follow me!
