I got a chance to meet the delightful Sidney Bristol a couple of weeks ago, and we started talking about book promotion and cost-effective ways to get our words out to potential readers. She recommended the services of Book Monster Promotions, and boy, these people know what they’re doing.

So I signed up for a two week blog tour for Storm Season, and my first stop today was at The Book Connoisseur, run by a dedicated and absolutely delightful book lover named Shawnie. As well as promoting Storm Season, Shawnie surprised me by giving the book a spectacular review, saying that it was “a remarkable story filled with emotional depth…with more twists and turns than a New York City block,” and awarding Storm Season five black roses. And I feel good about this because BMP goes with reviewers who will leave an honest review. All I’m paying for is promotion — whether or not they like the book and are willing to say so is up to them.

So, yeah, that’s a great way to kick off the week. More importantly, my June sales on Amazon have already shown a nice jump. I’ll be doing interviews and guest posts at other blogs for the next two weeks, so make sure you stay tuned for links.
