Hi, Terry!
In reply to your blog today, “Are We Having Fun Yet?” I’m
having a BALL!!!! Just to keep you in the loop, I’ve had at least 15 events
since my novel’s release on January 31, 2012, and I’ve sold a ton of books out
of my own stash—YAY! I’m having HUGE success with the public libraries and their
book clubs and historical societies. And my greatest audience is adults versus
young adults, for which my story is aimed.
I’ve been hopping on every opportunity that comes my way,
including a radio interview, a writing presentation for 4th through
6th graders (this I did free of charge and it was a HUGE success),
and two blog interviews. This past Monday night I presented to a local
historical society, and the board members were thrilled when I signed back over
to them the $50.00 honorarium to help them preserve their building.
I’ve been bringing Billy Bear (3 feet in stature) dressed in
full cavalry garb and some Civil War bunting with me everywhere I go—Billy alone
attracts great attention, but his offer to answer a question for a free bookmark
is adding to bringing the crowds. And everyone has been rewarding my passion for
my subject and enthusiasm to present it with a purchase or two—sometimes
three—once even five by the same person.
I have numerous contacts to make that have
arisen from my various events, such as the Capital District Civil War Round
Table, a Civil War reenactment and encampment event in Windham, NY, Carnegie
Hall in Pittsburgh, PA, numerous public libraries, another blog interview, etc.,
etc. I’ll keep you posted!
So….you be the judge….am I having fun yet? I hope you’re
having fun too!
Lisa Potocar, Sweet Glory
