Yes, Using Facebook And Twitter Can Sell Your Books!

I sold 3 copies of my books yesterday. How? Not by posting links to them with a 'buy me' post, although I do that once a day. No, I did it by tweet-watching a show enjoyed and interacting with other fans of it. I checked and during that one hour I sold 3 books. Don't let anyone tell you fb and twitter doesn't work for selling books. It DOES but you have to do it right.

Social media is about that, being social, interacting, usually about nothing having to do with your books. It's about letting readers getting to know YOU. Have your book cover as your profile pic. Have your author info in your profile section and then just have your fun on social media. Talk about your books every once in awhile but make fb and twitter more about interacting with your fellow fangirls about the things you love. 

When a new fellow fangirl finds you (omg you like Outlander/TheExorcist/MacGyver/GH/LethalWeapon etc too?) they'll click to find out who you are and there your info will be and you've just got yourself a new reader.

Now...go buy my books. :p http://amzn.to/2eNPMkO

September/October Wrap Up (spoilery)

Many apologies for the lighting! I tried to fix it as it kept going wonky but there was no cure for it. Illness knocked me out for much of October so I was unable to do a September wrap up so thought it would just be easier to combine the two months! A spoilery look at the books I loved and didn't love so much in both September and October. Subscribe for more video blogs once, sometimes twice a week!

Now available in ebook (print version coming soon!) Resistance Book One- The Arrangement: Elsa Mostek is a young Jewish woman who is forced to move with her family from the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland to the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1943. She immediately draws the attention of Nazi Officer Friedrich Weiss who inexplicably shows favor towards her and helps her escape harm many times thanks to the power he wields in the camp. Aware that many of her fellow female prisoners are bartering their bodies for survival and in desperation to save her starving family, Elsa makes an offer to Friedrich.

What Elsa does not know is that Friedrich is a spy with the German Resistance that has infiltrated the Nazi regime. He must keep up the pretense of loyalty to Hitler's cause as he sends secrets to those on the outside.

Friedrich doesn't want to take advantage of Elsa but can't help wanting her. As the misery of his position increases, she offers him the only light left in a world of darkness and despite his best intentions, Friedrich gives in to her offer. Passion explodes between them, giving them a reprieve from the monstrous world they inhabit, though both know it can never last. http://amzn.to/2egPPpw

Meeting Diana Gabaldon At The Fergus Scottish Festival

My sis Julia LeBlanc (who many of you know as the fantastic creator of all the Outlander fanvids on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/nancy777ca got us tickets to the Diana Gabaldon appearance this past Saturday in Fergus, Ontario.

The weather has a sense of humour and decided to give us the FULL Scottish experience by pouring rain almost all day. When we arrived there were already people in line to get their books signed who had been held over from an earlier morning signing that Diana had to cut short because she wasn't feeling well. She promised to return a few hours later to finish signing their books so they stayed in their places.

My sis and I opted to grab our seats and settle in early so we'd be up close to Diana when she gave her talk at 2 o'clock and then get our books signed afterwards.

When we walked in, this was in the center of the room. A Doctor Who Tardis...I didn't get it at first. I don't know what was wrong with my brain.

Festivities began with , of course, bagpipe music and one gentleman showing off different instruments.

Then came the Chief of 1,000 year old Clan Leslie giving us the history of his clan. It was at this point that it occurred to me, after looking at these things for about an hour that what I was looking was the Outlander stones!

Seriously. I don't know what was wrong with my brain that day. Lol!

Then it was time for Diana to come out. As everyone who has ever met her as already remarked upon. This woman is TINY! Not to mention lovely and you have to double a take when she informs you that she is 64 years old! I only hope to look half that good! 

We had heard most of her stories before but her delivery is so fun that you find yourself laughing anyway and it was fun to hear the reactions from those who hadn't heard the stories before. Like this gem that I had to capture on video of Diana explaining the appeal of a man in a kilt. :D

 After her talk was over, my sis and I headed to the line up with our books to meet Diana and get them signed. The line was pretty massive but we figured with the huge line already in place once we arrived, are chances were pretty slim anyway and we'd at least got to see her talk which we preferred. Still, it was 3 o'clock and she was staying to sign until 4:45 so we got in line so we decided to try anyway. I tried to get a pic of the line but couldn't get all of it in frame.  Picture this...about times 10!

At about 4:30 one of the attendants suggested that those who had a weekend pass (my sis and I did not) could come back tomorrow and were given a number to get their books signed first tomorrow. This cut the line down considerably and at about 4:45 there were only 10 of us left in line. Diana was like a machine. Sign, smile (how her face wasn't stiff by that point is amazing to me!) a few words, next!

Then it was my sis's turn while I took video (which we always prefer if we can do it so we can grab shots later. We will be uploading those videos to youtube later)

My sis introduced herself as Julia LeBlanc and Diana told her she did wonderful work with her videos.  

Then it was my turn.

I told her that as an author she was a huge inspiration to me and she thanked me. 

Brief, but such an awesome moment! Then the event staff had photo set up where they would take your photo and photoshop you into a stone back drop. Of course, we had to. :D

We also took some pics over by these Outlander banners. 

And that was pretty much it! We headed back home with smiles on our faces and on cloud nine after meeting Herself!
