Hi Ms. Shecter! I loved your book Curses and Smoke, and most of the people I know have read it and enjoyed it as well. What methods of promotion worked best for your novels? Thanks.

Hi Madeline, thanks for asking a question. I'm so glad you enjoyed CURSES AND SMOKE! Methods of promotion are tough because they don't come naturally to me. I'm guessing there was a lot I could've done but didn't.
I like to talk to schools and book festivals and so try to get invited to them whenever possible. I also always ask readers to spread the word if they enjoyed it because friend recommendations are always the best. That's pretty much it, though. Do you write?
Thanks again! Vicky

Hello again Mrs. Shecter! I *literally* just finished rereading "Curses and Smoke," (with more than one tear in my eye), and just wanted to say that I would love to see Lucia's and Tag's story on the silver screen. In the meantime, I was wondering whether or not you were working on another Classical, historical story? In the meantime, I'll be reading Robert Harris's "Pompeii," as recommended!
