At the intersection of Authors and Readers is...Promo!

Change back from your dollar!

I've only been to two reader events this month and I already have tote bags full of books and swag. Promotional items are a very effective way for authors to get the word out about their latest release and for new authors to introduce them themselves to readers. Among the bookmarks, candy and pens (my personal favorites), there are some clever and very useful pieces. Tracy March handed out cards with a dollar bill attached. Her ebook A Shot of Red is a romantic suspense thriller available at ebook retailers for .99 until May 4th. March writes Romantic Thillers and Contemporary Romance for Entangled Publishing, visit her website www.tracymarch.com for complete title list.

Text size for readers of a "certain age"

There is always an abundance of buttons floating around reader conventions. I find myself saying "where did you get that button from" several times, but even more, squinting at the button text. So when I saw this button, (from far away), I grabbed it. Not only does it capture my true nature when in comes to books, I did not have to break out my readers to see it.  Thank you Shawntelle Madison!

I have to admit, I was a little afraid to open this...Hey, authors have strange imaginations! Not to worry, it turns out that this is a tiger egg. Inside it contains candy and a tiger charm, to promote "Caging a Bengal Tiger by Trinity Blacio. I was not familiar with this author so I took at quick trip to her website Trinity Blacio. The site contains her book list and also a couple of free reads so you can get an intro to her writing.
