Some of you know how avid I am about promotion. Well, a contest win or finalist, is a good vehicle for promoting. Thus, see my media release below. (-:

Gene, you are adding new benefits so quickly! Thank you! As long as I'm here, maybe some of you would like to follow along on the steps I'm taking for the launch of my new book at www.sharingwithwriters.blogspot.com. I expect to do these posts one...
This is pretty exciting stuff, Gene. I am proud to be a Premium member--since, well, practically since you started.
Best,
Carolyn

Fuschia flowered iceplant draping itself over concrete freeway walls
LA's new skyline
The triple tunnels near the LA River on the oldest of our country's freeways
Eating on the patio in March
Palm trees marching along the Palisades above Santa Monica

- The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won’t
ISBN: 193299310X Star Publish Awards: Winner USA Book News, Irwin To Order: http://www.amazon.com/Frugal-Book-Promoter-What-Publisher/dp/193299310X/
For only a few cents a day The Frugal Book Promoter assures your book the best possible start in life. Full of nitty - gritty how - tos for getting nearly-free publicity, Carolyn Howard-Johnson, an instructor for UCLA’s Writers’ Program, shares her professional experience as well as practical tips gleaned from the successes of her own book campaigns. She tells authors how to do what their publishers can’t or won’t and why authors can often do their own promotion better than a PR professional.

This is the Place
ISBN: 1588513521 AmErica House Awards: Eight awards To Order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1588513521/
“When you live amidst beauty sometimes you don’t recognize discrimination
and, if you do, you prefer not to acknowledge it.”
A young journalist realizes that because she is half Mormon and half Protestant she is not suitable material for love. She delves into her Mormon heritage and journals her way through prejudice into redemption. She learns to mend her own life when she finds she cannot mend her world. This novel, set in Salt Lake City in the 50s, reveals not only complexities of the heart but the secrets of what some consider a mysterious place and culture. "This is the Place" has won eight awards including the Critics' Choice award.
--------
Harkening: A Collection of Stories Remembered
ISBN: 1591295505 AmErica House Awards: Three Awards To Order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591295505/
Harkening explores the little white lies and solemn truths that one charming, idiosyncratic family loves to repeat. Each story is stitched to the next to become a saga of their sojourn from Michigan through a vanishing railroad town in New Mexico, then into Utah and finally (and happily), to a place where individuality can thrive. "Harkening" has won three awards including Word Thunder's Excellence in Writing award.

Tracings, A Chapbook of Poetry
ISBN: 1-59924-017-3 Finishing Line Press. Awards_ Award Excellence Military Writers Society of America To Order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1599240173/
Tracings touches chords--both major and minor--for readers interested in nostalgia, tolerance, culture and aging. The author traces her life's experiences and for her it feels like "a movie reel running backwards." "Tracings" was named to the Compulsive Readers' Ten Best Reads list
---------
The Frugal Editor: Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success
ISBN: To Come. Star Books. Awards: Winner USA Book News, Reader Views Literary Award, New Generation Marketing Award To Order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0978515870/
There are gremlins out there determined to keep your work from being published, your book from being promoted. They -- resolved to embarrass you before the gatekeepers who can turn the key of success for you -- lurk in your subconscious and the depths of your computer programs. Whether you are a new or experienced author, The Frugal Editor will help you present whistle-clean copy (whether it's a one-page cover letter or your entire manuscript) to those who have the power to say "Yea" or "Nay."

The Great First Impression Book Proposal: Everything You Need To Know To Sell Your Book in 20 Minutes or Less
