Off to the Races!

Finally, after unnecessarily prolonging the awkward “tell your friends to buy my book” ploy, my publisher and I have finished my press release!

For those of you who don’t know, a press release is a formally written announcement that your book exists.  The purpose of these is to get media outlets (stores, radio stations, blogs, podcasts, etc. ) aware of your work.  According to the PR plan my publisher and I put together, we are looking at about 500 different outlets getting notice of my literary existence!  

At this point, it’s off to the races!  Those who are reading, keep doing it!   Tell your friends, families, creepers, etc.  Those who aren’t, you are at my site, so I encourage you to read my works here (unless you just wanted to check out the snazzy new theme courtesy of Woo! but provided by a friend at Dreamstar Studios).

Also, I will soon be including a link to an article ran on my publication by my campus’ newspaper.  Hopefully, I will be featured by a larger newspaper here in the next couple of weeks!  I will keep you updated to the fullest!
