Hi, sorry I haven't been around much, but I've been working hard to save my business as well as my new start up- Lady Phyllis Medium.

For those who haven't heard, I have studied this year with famous mediums to hone my own skills successfully, and you can catch some of the results of this on my sons' podcast, Okon Bros. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmDMc...
Well, I am going to try and spread the word of your books on my assorted Facebook pages- I have eight with a combined following of thirty thousand. I hope it translates to sales. Nobody talks about actual results- so I am going to share- This is not bragging but the result of hard work.
I will say, that I've been posting the 90 or so titles I manage on assorted FB pages and average about 300 paperback sales per month. These are a variety of genres and five different authors.(My son and I write under five different names) I know posting works.
Kindle sales remain dismal averaging between 1 and 6 per day.
I am also posting to Tiktok- You can catch my TikToc on Lady Phyllis. If you'd like me to read a line from your book- pm me and we'll set that up. Meanwhile, I want to say that I think all of this does help sell books. So, quit your complaining and start helping others and maybe they'll help you back.

I'm agog here! I've just written my blog post for February (not posted it yet) but it's offering swaps of marketing.

I'm also agog (where did I get that word from) at how many books you sell.

I may have said this before - you are amazing. I'm so very glad I bumped into you. Thank you.

I'm glad we bumped into each other, Anna. You have taught me so much as well. The words of comfort and advice during the beginning of this pandemic kept me from flying apart.
Thanks to you to Sam. Yes, this horrible year has made all of us reinvent ourselves, including my kids. They are starting to get some traction with their podcast and who knows where it is going to go!!
It has forced me to step outside of my comfort zone and do things like the Tiktocs.

Thanks, Alex. You have my cnbb email- send the line you want to be read- the name of the book and the series it's in and your exact author name. https://www.tiktok.com/@ladyphyllis1?...

Here's one I did for Erica https://www.tiktok.com/@ladyphyllis1/...

Here's an early one I did for Debz about forty pounds ago- I did it under Carole P. Roman and then couldn't find it to do more.lol. So I started a new one under the name Lady Phyllishttps://www.tiktok.com/@usercarolepro...

I don't know how to show the links yet- or a cover if I don't have the physical copy of the book- but I'm working on it.
You can also help by subscribing to my sons' podcast as well.

I am trying to help them build their audience. They have a lot of self-help people on their show and have had some really interesting discussions.
