Hometown Book Trailer!

Hey, all!

I’ve signed up for a premium membership at Booksgosocial, an online book promotion service, and one of the services they provide for premium members is creation of book trailers.  Of course I’ve taken advantage of this service, and the first one, for Hometown, has been completed!  It is now available at both their Youtube channel and mine.  Have a look:

(And of course, if this trailer convinces you that Hometown is something you want to check out, then just head on over to Amazon and get yourself a copy!)

What An Idea!

So I was reading this post on the BooksGoSocial Writers Blog, and it made a suggestion that should have been blatantly obvious, but which I have managed to miss in nearly ten years of blogging:

Want to use your blog to promote your writing career?  Then blog about your books!

This should not have been as much of a revelation as it was.

I’ve posted about my work before – mostly the odd excerpt or giveaway notification – but I’ve mostly been pretty shy.  I think I had the idea that I needed to draw people in and entertain them with other material, then give tantalizing glimpses of the fiction.  Kinda like ads and previews in a magazine.

Well, there will certainly still be other material.  I’m not going to stop being a movie buff or having Thoughts after all.  And a great deal of material still needs to be imported from my old blog.  But in the days to come, you’ll see a lot more about my fiction and its inspirations.  Hope you find it as moving as I do.
