However, I've always maintained that what may work for one author doesn't work for another. See, you might have fans/readers who don't read your blog but want to know when your next book comes out. <br /><br />I'm glad you had such a wonderful time on your retreat.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299643638346680038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647897906477408775.post-35445156790372054462014-03-15T10:16:10.720-04:002014-03-15T10:16:10.720-04:00Anne, such a coincidence - there must be something...Anne, such a coincidence - there must be something in the air, because in the last two weeks, you're the fourth author-friend who has raised the issue of a news letter. I finally succumbed and on the top right hand side panel of my blog you'll see I've put in a link to people who want to receive "release announcements" Truly, I am so swamped with marketing and social media as it is I'd crack if I had to add another marketing tool, so I added that and intend to use it only as an announcement tool. I'll only worry about doing more if necessary later on. But at least readers have the option if they want it.<br /><br />And I see today (15.3) is release day! CONGRATULATIONS and wishing you many sales! :)Judy Croome | @judy_croomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455755011354905278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647897906477408775.post-83350319368581881122014-03-09T14:56:44.129-04:002014-03-09T14:56:44.129-04:00D.G.- I wish I knew how to use Google +.

(Like so many before it.) <br /><br />I've always liked blogging. I don't see any other platform that can do as much in one place. That's still free, that is.)Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12299643638346680038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1647897906477408775.post-10631667488847777222014-03-09T12:06:31.606-04:002014-03-09T12:06:31.606-04:00Blogs, yes, I read those to find out what's co...Blogs, yes, I read those to find out what's coming as far as books, and to get to know the author's voice. <br /><br />'Dead' or static pages with no links, I never go back. Google plus pages with no blog link evident - don't hang around long looking for hidden links.<br /><br />I don't sign up for newsletters, and very few subscriptions. I shouldn't have to look at your blog and your newsletters. My time for reading is limited.<br /><br />I think we should use what we enjoy doing, and not force it because some ambiguous 'they' said it must be so.D.G.

Just write the next book is pretty much all you need to be noticed.
