Promoting, Site-seeing or Beer?
I think my timing is really bad. Here I am in Nashville Tennessee, with so many things to see and do and I am in a hotel room promoting Touching Ed, and Countdown to Love that have just been published.
I am trying to split the time. So spending hours in the daytime o the laptop and then in the evenings we do a little sightseeing, which may or may not:) include checking out the bars and clubs. Okay, it mostly means checking out the bars and clubs. We visited the B B King club/restaurant and I was a little disappointed that the music was not really blues, but more jazzy than I like. However, my mood soon changed when we found The Boogie Bar on Bourbon Street. They had a Blues jam session, which was rocking! Thoroughly recommend it.
Last night we went to the Bluebird café and listened to live contemporary country music: keep your eyes and ears open for Clayton Anderson, I think he is going places.
The evenings are definitely more happening than the daytimes. promoting books is hard work, although I do have a great mention on Rebels and Readers Blog page today http://bit.ly/1zXhgYn and Cheeky Peeks blog http://bit.ly/1Ao0CTt for Countdown to Love. Being a Valentine short story needs to be promoted fairly briskly. I have had 400 downloads on Smashwords for it so far. That may not sound a lot to some international best sellers, but to me it is amazing that 400 people have taken the time to download my book and hopefully will enjoy it. That is what it is all about.

I write as I travel around the world. I cannot but help see lovely places and meet great people. It would be impossible not to include some of those details as I talk about my books or progress in writing. Countdown To Love was my debut short story and first ever published book. I am learning, I am growing and I am moving on in life and in my work. I will always be an apprentice author.
I hope to share small snippets of my life on the road, my development as a writer and my struggle as an Indie Publisher. ...more
