It’s ten days since my favourite little green-haired girl, Riley, was released into the world. Been a whirlwind few days.
So far, everyone seems to be loving her and it warms my heart to see that she is sitting on Amazon and Goodreads surrounded by 5* reviews already. Hopefully over the coming weeks and months, as more folk get around to reading her story, this will continue. (Yes, that was a subtle hint to pick up a copy if you haven’t already.)
Marketing is the bit I struggle with most. I promote my work on a shoestring budget so most of it is done via social media, a website called AllAuthor (www.allauthor.com/author/coralmccallum )and this blog page. Word of mouth is also a great marketing tool (Yes, that was another subtle hint that if you’ve read Riley and enjoyed her tale, tell people, please!)
Books, actual paperback books, make great Christmas gifts. (Yes, that’s another subtle hint) Riley would look fabulous all wrapped in silver with a huge green bow, don’t you think?
So, what’s next? I’ve been asked that a few times over the past ten days! I’m still in the undecided mode on that to an extent. Yes, I have started “something” that may become book baby 8 but it’s too soon to tell. For now, it’s about relaxing a bit, enjoying the festive season and we’ll see what 2023 and beyond brings.
