All-CON 2020 in Addison TX –CANCELLED!

Well, I was set up and ready for the first day at ALL-CON Thursday. I was looking forward to meeting with other sci-fi fans. Then Friday morning I found a note on my table stating by order of the City of Dallas all events with over 500 attendees will close by 11 a.m. March 13, 2020. Oh well, there’s next year.

Well, gang, this Wednesday I’m heading to Crown Plaza in Addison, TX, to get ready for ALL-CON. It starts on free admission Thursday at 3:00. You can check out the info at https://all-con.org/ and, if you attend, come over and say “Hi”. I’m at the booth B-12, the vitamin booth. My publisher name is Ink Slinger Enterprises.

Hope to see ya there.

Junk Mail and SASE Book Promotions

A little something I would like to share to my friends. My wife and I refinanced our house and got a better deal through Rocket Mortgage/Quicken Loans. Now I know why. They sell my contact info to others to make up the difference. Today in the mail we received 8 letters from different companies claiming they are working with Quicken Loans trying to sell us insurance for life and the mortgage. They had the ‘exact’ amount of the loan in each letter. Now let the spam begin…

 

The good side is I got 8 self-address stamped envelopes I’m going to use to promote my books. Instead of sending them their filled-out forms, I sending them each a card to promote the books (and they paid for the stamps).

Pre-Book Review on Author Branding

I just started reading a book called “The 10 Commandments of Author Branding” by Shayla Raquel.  I saw her last October at Writers in the Field speak on branding and bought a copy of her new book.  So far I’m still in Commandment II, Thou Shalt Have a Local Writing Community.  One thing I liked was she said you should start branding yourself before you publish your book.  Now she tells me.  I’ve already published my second book.  Oops.

There are some other things she mentioned I liked as well.  Be yourself on social media, not a businessman/woman.  I spent right over 30 years running my DJ business before retiring and I find it hard to switch back when it comes to promoting my books.  So, here goes nothing.

If you’re interested in checking out her book you can find it here.
