Being Mystic in Touch with God, my first book, launches June 24. Yesterday I received assistance from Melissa Mateuse and Lisa Winstantley, 2 wonderful staff members at Indigo HQ, on King St. West, in Toronto. I am so pleased that managers have been sent my request form for book signings in Chapter-Indigo stores in Ontario. Happier yet, when I received a reply of interest from Stoney Creek store #408 Heritage Green. I have many friends who assume that once you write your book your job is over, fini. Mais, non! It is just beginning. It's fantastic to write a book, but without word of mouth, and marketing you will end up with a warehouse of books gathering dust.
Writers must remember the P words. Persist, perseverance and promote.
Although the summer is looked at as the 'slow' time in the publishing world, i am grateful that Being Mystic in Touch with God is being released in the summer. It's much easier to get around Ontario in the sunshine than in mid-February. I am ok with the occasional rain. Occasional being the operative word.
To all my American friends and relatives have a sacred, blessed Memorial Day weekend.
And see you at Indigo!
