 RT Booklovers Convention RecapPosted by Anne Marie Becker May 17 2013, 12:01 am in Anne Marie Becker, conferences, promotion, readers, RT Convention 2013 Romance readers, industry representatives, and authors of all ages and subgenres recently gathered in Kansas City for the 30th annual Romantic Times Booklovers Convention. As a first time attendee, I went in with a mind (and eyes) wide open. The Ruby Sisters who attended agree that meeting readers (and visiting with each other) was the [...]  Risk and RewardPosted by Vivi Andrews May 16 2013, 12:01 am When I first started writing and I would daydream about my future career as a genius author, that first publishing contract seemed like a golden ticket. From that point on it would all be smooth sailing and a steady downhill roll to wealth and glory. In that lovely fantasy, all the hard decisions would be [...]  (Re)Launching a Book – Thoughts on Promo Post-ReleasePosted by Sara Ramsey May 15 2013, 1:01 am My latest release, The Marquess Who Loved Me, came out in mid-February with rather subdued fanfare. It was a Nook First pick for Valentine’s Day, but beyond that and a quick email to my newsletter mailing list, I did nothing noteworthy to promote it. I’ll spare you the sordid details, but suffice it to say that [...]  Guest Cover Artist: KeithDrawsCoverArtPosted by Amanda Brice May 14 2013, 3:01 am Normally when I get a new book cover, I’m so excited by the awesomeness that I end up “revealing” it on Facebook by saying “Hey! Look!” Not exactly the big splash I’d want. These days the formal “cover reveal” has become an important part of the pre-release promotion process. So much that most blog tour [...]  RSS Welcomes GH Finalist Ella Sheridan…and her sisterPosted by Dani Wade May 13 2013, 12:01 am in author interview, craft, Ella Sheridan, golden heart, golden heart finalists, guest author, Lucky 13 Today I have the joy of welcoming a guest blogger from the Lucky 13s–the Golden Heart Finalists of 2013.

You will not catch me in line for a Starbucks coffee, although a couple of times on vacation I did splurge on a dollar McDonald’s coffee when I’d been driving a lot of miles. And on that vacation, I stayed in cheap hotels that usually had a coffee maker and fridge and [...]  Guest Author: Abigail SharpePosted by Hope Ramsay May 9 2013, 12:01 am in Abigail Sharpe, cowboys, craft, guest author, Unsinkables I am so happy to be hosting my friend and fellow Unsinkable and Forever Romance author, Abigail Sharpe today.

Abigail is blogging today about a subject I struggle [...]  Guest Author: Jennifer McGowanPosted by Liz Bemis May 8 2013, 12:01 am What I learned along the red brick road… Follow the yellow brick road! Follow the yellow brick road! Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road! Perhaps among the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood most of all, the lore of the yellow brick road resonates very deeply. This is the ideal path, the road Dorothy must [...]  New Business Models for AuthorsPosted by Shoshana Brown May 7 2013, 12:02 am in Business models for writing, Kickstarter, Shoshana Brown, Veronica Mars Those of you who have read my blogs may have noticed (by the fact that I can’t seem to stop mentioning it) that I’m a huge Veronica Mars fan.

What are you waiting for?), it centered around a teen PI who was smart [...]  Meet 2013 Golden Heart Finalist AE JonesPosted by Elisa Beatty May 6 2013, 12:01 am in AE Jones, Golden Heart finalist, paranormal Today we’re welcoming the third of our guest bloggers from the Lucky 13s–the Golden Heart Finalists of 2013.
