With a great Kirkus review that only booksellers and librarians will see, I have to get it out to the rest of the world. I learned during the fall that I’m a crummy marketer. A woman I hired found hundreds of websites in my target audience range; she (and later another) blogger blogged about my book and video. That cost as many pennies as the mint used to make in a week but generated sales in the disaster range. So I hired a company, Smith Publicity, to do a three week blitz as we approach Easter. Now I’ll find out if the professionals are any better than at it I am.
