Promotional Materials

Lately I've been fixated on promotional materials for my two latest releases and luckily I have a wonderful friend who creates book covers and other author friendly items. Her name is Tracy Stewart and she does a wonderful job.  She's very OCD about the quality of her work. So, I thought I'd show off the work she's done for me by posting the promotional materials she's created for me lately.

Here are my new postcards and bookmarks. I think they're great and will be wonderful freebies to hand out at book signings and to mail out to readers.

And in case you need any of these items yourself, here's her website address:

And by the way she created the book covers for both my latest releases Timeless and Breaking Free .
Be sure to check them out.

I'd love to hear what other kinds of promotional materials you've used to give your book sells a boost.
Please comment so we can share ideas about it. I'd love to hear from you all.

I've invested in business cards and bookmarks, though my bookmarks have my "branding" on them instead of my book I'm promoting and thus far, I haven't had or found opportunity to give them out, so I can't speak from experience.

I'd love each of your bookmarks, though- Tracy did an awesome job! I'm reading Timeless right now on my Kindle, but I do still read books in print and always end up at a loss for a bookmark when I need one. ;)

I really think I should have thought of postcards a while back to have to send out when my book comes out in just a little over a week. Will definitely keep it in mind for next time.

Taryn:
I have business cards as well. And I've always done the bookmarks since my first book came out. I did a postcard campaign for the first two books as well. Readers love the bookmarks and it gives them something concrete to look at and jog their memory about you and the books.
Keep checking back. I'm hoping that others will comment on what they've used in the past as promotional things and give us some new ideas!!

I also use business cards and bookmarks. I hand my bookmarks out EVERYWHERE! So far, I don't know how they effect sales, but they are great conversation starters. I write YA Romance, so I hit the sales clerks at all of the grocery stores, retail shops, and even at the mall and restaurants if I see a group of girls hanging out. No one has been upset by my approach as yet and they all seem very excited about getting something free and meeting a published author. I can usually spot the "readers" a mile away.

Kallypso Masters and Nobody's Perfect

Image
 I'M SO PROUD TO BE THE FIRST STOP OF KALLYPSO MASTER'S BLOG TOUR AND TO INTRODUCE HER LATEST RELEASE (COMING SOON) NOBODY'S PERFECT. KALLY'S BLOG HOP I'm an eclectic reader. I'll read any kind of fiction, non-fiction, history, biographies, you name it. But my first love is romance,  military romance, historical romance, contemporary romance, paranormal romance, erotic romance and romantic suspense. Actually any kind of romance. The more conflict in a story, the more I love it. And Kallypso Masters can pour on the conflict. And I love it.  Her books are also BDSM erotica. I don't read erotica a lot. But I have a few favorites in the genre, Cheryl Norman, Jennifer Madden, Mia Jae, and recently I've added Kallypso (Kally) Masters to my list. Hers are my first sojourn into BDSM and they are totally different than I expected. I really love her heroes (OH MY) and her story lines.  Her female characters are fighting through things just as fer...

I'm Still Here!!! And an excerpt from Building Courage

Image
 It's been a long time since I've posted anything. It's taken longer for me to fight my way back from a year of grief, upheaval, and injury, and it's still a work in progress, but I'm working my way back.  I'm 53,000 words into my next book, and I've finally hit my stride.   I'm posting a short excerpt of my next book Building Courage.  I've tweaked the blurb a tiny bit.  Here it is: Photographer Brynn Barrington spent two years on the road. taking pictures, podcasting about survival, and working through a personal trauma by embracing life. She's taken up surfing, sky diving, and now wants to learn to scuba dive. But when she meets Tucker Giles, she's wary. The handsome SEAL triggers desires she long ago buried deep and never thought to feel again.  Navy SEAL Tucker Giles has been a certified diver for years. After a dangerous encounter with a bull shark during a mission, he decides teaching Brynn to dive is just the ticket to shake off the l...

Timeless is Released in Paperback and Traveling back to Loch Maree

Image
Timeless has been released in paperback.  I'm so thrilled! I know the book's been out for a few weeks in ebook format, but I just love holding the real book in my hand. The cover is a little different from the ebook. But just as dramatic.  Check it out. TIMELESS When I first started doing research for the book nearly four years ago, my dream was to REALLY see the area I'd chosen to set my story. Traveling to Scotland had been a dream for me for a long time. I suppose being a Marine Corps brat and transferring every two and a half years had bitten me with the travel bug.  I've blogged about the Loch Maree area before. Here's a recap:   Loch Maree is the highlands. It resides in Wester Ross in the Northwestern upper regions of Scotland. It’s known as the Jewel of the Highlands because it’s so untouched. I was unprepared for the raw beauty and power of the place. Scotland was carved out by huge glaciers that covered the entire continent hu...
