Oh-Oh … the big storm has started to hit the front range of Colorado, my home base. I’m thinking I will have at least two feet of snow at my doorsteps by tomorrow.
TODAY, I’m hunkered down and in this weekend. Looking forward to the AuthorYOU Salons this AM for brainstorming author, book marketing, and publishing ideas going forward.
Yup, Spring is trying to rear its head. Ideas forming … I’m blocking a few days just for ME to start the planning/outlining for my next book: The Author’s Guide to Book Marketing. I’m going to let my fingers and imagination take the lead!
My two bits for this last Saturday morning of the month.
Friday mornings are the place to be with other authors! I love the Friday coaching that happens early each Friday AM. I always have a “new tip” for the group, then it opens up to “catch up” and “asks”. Become a subscriber so you can get
Friday Coaching for less than a weekly glass of wine; for less than a weekly Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit – Combo at Chick-fil-A; for less than 3 movie tickets! ALERT …we do this on Zoom … you need to connect with me. Only $27 a month—limited amount of subscribers allowed. We gather via Zoom at 7 AM. The dress? Totally casual. Get on board –it’s fun and informative … and you get all questions answered. This is for any author anywhere!
