Canada Day & 4th of July Weekends
North America should be rocking this weekend! I imagine just about every citizen in Canada and the United States will be celebrating their wonderful countries. Let’s also remember to toast the brave men and women of the military who support their country and sometimes pay the ultimate price.
This tribute to Canada by Tom Brokaw just before the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver is about the best I have ever seen. I hope you take the time to enjoy it. Click here for the video and have a fabulous holiday weekend.
Huffpost article too good not to share
This great article gives readers a very clear picture of the angst most writers feel about promoting their work. It says a lot of things we would like to say ourselves but can’t quite figure out how to work it in with everything else we are talking about. Click here to go to the article “From Writing Quietly to Screaming ‘Buy Me’ – Promoting A Book”.
Thanks to M.J. Rose for posting it on Facebook or I might have missed it.
2011 Next Generation Indie Book Awards
Well, this was a great start to my day! I opened my e-mail to discover the following message from Indie Book Awards.
“Congratulations! Your book has been named a Finalist in the First Novel (over 80,000 words) category of the 2011 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. Congratulations! Your achievement will be published at www.IndieBookAwards.com along with the other Finalists and Winners in the next few weeks. Also, we will be sending out a press release within the next month announcing the Grand Prize Winners and advising media and others where they can see a complete list of Winners and Finalists.
Additionally, The Bridge Club will be listed as a Finalist in the 2011 Next Generation Indie Book Awards catalog which will be distributed at Book Expo America (“BEA”) in New York later this month to thousands of attendees including book buyers, library representatives, media, industry professionals, and others. Our intention is to promote the Winners and Finalists to as many people as possible.”
Being notified last month about The Bridge Club being a Finalist in the ForeWord 2010 Awards, this is more icing on the cake. I’m thrilled and delighted and wanted to share my good news! Thanks to all of you who continue to give me such great support and feedback for The Bridge Club. On we go!
