Great Promotion Idea

Tracy Montoya (http://tracymontoya.blogspot.com/2006/04/o-frabjous-day-free-books.html) did a great promotion idea that I'm going to steal when I grow up to be a published author. I love it when authors have book give aways. It's an opportunity for me to read another author and the author gets to (possibly) collect another fan. I'm passing on the good idea to all newly published authors I know who may want to use this as a promotional tool. There was no quiz or contest. Just "The next three comments on my blog". I'm thinking that Shelli Stevens (shellistevens.blogspot.com) and Loribelle Hunt (loribellehunt.blogspot.com) who have just been published with Cobblestone could use this idea. After all, I Shelli's book (Tourist Attraction) is an ebook (right Shelli?) and Lori's is too (Bound By Love). Ebooks don't involve shipping and handling. Give aways might be just the thing. How about Diva Laura (Rose Middleton "Tantilizer")? I bought her ebook and it was fabulous! I recieved Allison Brennen's "The Hunt" at a chat held at Romance Divas all because my birthday was nearest to hers. We both won. She promotes her book (it drove me out to buy "The Prey" and "The Kill" so I could have the trilogy) and I get a free book. The way I burn through them, I need them. So, Tracy, here's to you for being a smart author and allowing me to steal your idea. I can't wait to read her book. Here's another example of the generosity of writers. Oh, I signed up to review Tawny Taylor's new erotic book "Stolen Goddess". Tawny is an awesome writer with a great sense of humor. Check out her website tawnytaylor.com. I love plugging other authors. There's so much great stuff out there that matches every mood, every preference. It's just a matter of finding out where they are. You can't get much more ecletic in choices than the ones I've mentioned here. One of these could fit what you need. Check it out.
