In an earlier
post I mentioned trying to come up with original ideas to promote author
appearances; I’ve now done over 734 thousand of them, and have a new one coming
up December 10th. My newest book, as all fourteen of my regular
readers know, is Hoosier Hysterical,
a humorous look at the history, people, and trivia of Indiana. The signing at
the Noble Art Gallery will be the third since Hoosier Hysterical came out, and also the third appearance I’ve put
in at Dan Gagen’s gallery in downtown Albion.
What hook
could I use to get people to come? The first thing I thought of is to have the
cover reveal of my new novel there, and that’s great, but I wanted something
more.
Then I
realized the bicentennial of Indiana’s official formation is December 11th—just
one day after the book signing.
And what
inspired me to write the book was the upcoming bicentennial.
Say it with
me, now: “Duh.”
So, the
Facebook event details are now on my FB writer’s page, along with the hooks. While
you’re checking it out, please like my page!

| A view from the Noble Art Gallery. Well, actually a view from the middle of the street. Boy, were the other drivers mad. |
A pretty view, too!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though? It's on the corner of the courthouse square.
DeleteIt is a lovely view!
ReplyDeleteMost of the year! They just turned the fountain off for the winter, but it's still a nice place--right above what the old timers call the "liar's bench".
