Maybe as part of a book. It's something to think about. :)<br /><br />Thank you SO MUCH for all of your wisdom and support. It means a whole lot to me. <br /><br />You can order my book directly from the publisher here: http://filbertpublishing.com/365.html It is also available through Amazon and special order at bookstores. If you buy the book, I hope you enjoy it! And please do let me know what you think of it.<br /><br />I will definitely keep you and your services in mind for marketing assistance. Your site looks awesome!<br /><br />And, yes, that evidence of hauntings and ghostly presence is definitely there. I have experienced it personally, but books like the one I'm doing will all the more stand as proof they exist.<br /><br />Thank you again for everything! You rock!! xoxoDawn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291423272908722351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599152.post-25002036520531566762009-08-05T15:39:50.289-07:002009-08-05T15:39:50.289-07:00Hi Dawn, so much heartfelt writing in there. It st...Hi Dawn, so much heartfelt writing in there. It struck me that you can write so well from the heart.<br /><br />Maybe your experiences can be shared IN A BOOK. So many writers and creative people despair of ever having something sold. Write because you love it. What other people think of you...is none of your business.<br /><br />How do I get your books? You and your writing matters, to me and yourself, and countless others.<br /><br />If you want a reading or other Business stuff for getting some marketing and passion going, contact me.<br /><br />As for your Ghost book you and I know that there is indisputable evidence. Chase it, create it and go for everything you dream.

It bothers me that he is not so supportive of my writing career. The minute I become a successful author selling thousands of books, you can bet I'm going to rub that in his face! He should be supporting my dream instead of stomping on it. <br /><br />I have been working on the Ghost book like crazy. Just working on it and working on it. It's really hard to find the time with the baby climbing over the baby gate and everything, but I am going to keep at it! I'm not giving up and will never quit.<br /><br />I never thought about it like that, the book "sleeping." I hope I can find new ways to wake it up, as you say.<br /><br />Lillie: Thank you. Yes, that is so true. It is VERY hard to sell books. Especially with the economy being the way it is. I have heard about that kind of thing happening, though. With people promising to buy books but they never do. I have also heard of so-called "reviewers" promising to review abook but never do. (I have had this happen to me as an author as well as a reviewer but, on the reviewing end, it was out of my hands.) I'm sorry to hear this happened with you. I hope there will be some people who will buy your book. Please keep us all updated on the new things you do for promotion and marketing. I would love to hear it! :) Good luck with that.<br /><br />Patricia: Oh, thank you sooo much! That is awesome of you for offering to review my book! :) I will definitely get a copy to you real soon. Your book is definitely helpful. I was reading through it and a lot of times I thought, 'Wow, that's a great idea!' or 'I never thought of that!' I'm glad you wrote this very helpful book.Dawn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291423272908722351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599152.post-84242238254286107752009-08-02T05:55:53.788-07:002009-08-02T05:55:53.788-07:00Hi Dawn,

What I find discouraging is when people tell you they're going to buy a book, then don't. I recently ran a promotion for my romantic mystery novel on my blog. I bought author copies to sell myself, and I had lots of people leave comments they were eager to get the book. But hardly anyone actually bought it. I'd rather they just didn't say anything than to lie about it. I'm still experimenting with ways to promote effectively so I understand your situation.Lillie Ammannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851121176224654240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599152.post-90782166035146191802009-08-01T19:33:37.302-07:002009-08-01T19:33:37.302-07:00Hey Dawn sorry to hear this! ((hugs))
Its just mar...Hey Dawn sorry to hear this! ((hugs))<br />Its just marketing. This is all thats wrong. If you cant market to the masses, your book goes to sleep. Thats why people get publishers because of their marketing departments!!!<br />But the good thing about a sleeping book is it can always be woken up. <br /><br />I would say keep trying NEW ways of marketing your book. Don't do the same old things, try some new stuff.<br /><br />Also just move forward with your new books. The Ghost book will put your name out there again and when people look up your name, they will see your old books too. Its just a process, and eventually all books that are just sitting there will be discovered by the general public again.<br /><br />I'm dissapointed that your significant other has yet to realize that writing is your passion. Its very hurtful what he said. Does he want you to quit and just....do what? Have no passion for anything? Or maybe he is like my hubby who wishes I would develope a passion for doing laundry or for baking bread....LOL<br /><br />Dont worry Dawn, things will pick up soon!!<br />More hugs because of hubbys ridiculous comment: (((((((hugs)))))))))))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
