To me the most fun and rewarding part of publishing has been the people I've met and friends I've made. Promotion has its frustrations, but--once I get out of my introvert shell--I find I have a fantastic time.Christine Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350760019997430843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26703962.post-87639055844473260442008-07-07T08:06:00.000-07:002008-07-07T08:06:00.000-07:00Wouldn't it be nice if we just had loads of money ...Wouldn't it be nice if we just had loads of money to give someone else to do all the promotional stuff? Still, I think the promotional phase if part of the fun, too. You get to meet and interact with lots of people.Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26703962.post-53294154255575735852008-07-05T08:37:00.000-07:002008-07-05T08:37:00.000-07:00The following came through the crystal ball this A...The following came through the crystal ball this AM: <I>"Fans and Critics alike are heaping praise on the eagerly anticipated newly released tenth novel from master wordsmith C.M. Fletcher. Never one to disappoint, Ms. Fletcher delivers again, this time with a gripping page turner that blows the top off the sordid underworld of book promotion. "I've never been one to 'Write What You Know'" says the eminent novelist, "but I felt the people of America needed to know the truth." She says that this novel is a fictionalized compilation of her experiences promoting her previous novels. The unexpected twists and turns of plot, the subterfuge and mind-bending CIA-inspired 'psi-ops' of 'guerrilla marketing' will keep readers riveted, and the revelations of emotional turmoil and physical trials and tribulations are sure to finally wake the general public up to the plight of authors across the country, and may even create the popular groundswell that's needed to finally get the publishing houses to do the right thing and market books themselves. This book is not without a lighter side, though. Its frequent descriptions of over-the-top Murphy's Law-isms will leave you ROFLing. He latest novel is sure to be one you read over and over, and if Hollywood does as good a job with this one as they have done with her others, movie fans, too, are in for a treat. </I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
