Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Also, is it possible to get you promote my work? I just published a book myself. If not, I understand, just thought I would ask. ;)

Yes ...

I am happy to help support friends. What is your book about? Depending on topic and other context, the options include:

* If it's in my subject area and you could get me a review copy, I could review it.

* If you have a press release, catalog copy, or similar then I could repost that.

* Are you doing a blog tour? I would be happy to host a guest post of yours here, and I'm sure my audience would enjoy it.

* I could interview you. This option doesn't even require the book to be in my wheelhouse, I have stock questions for authors in general and could easily add some particular to your topic.

Some of those would give you materials that you could then send to other places. If you haven't already done this, make sure you hit your home town library and newspaper, and the ones in your current town if different, and any other towns where you made a significant impression. Hit up bookstores and coffeehouses in your area too. Think about your topic and hit anywhere that caters to that; my nature poetry book is in the local nature sanctuary's library, we pull it out to read from when there's an event. People like local authors.

I just meant here, on your DW. *blushes*

My third book is entitled 'Bonita Blue's and is about a man who, to escape personal tragedy, moves to Cozumel, Mexico where he works on a dive boat. While diving, he encounters something that shouldn't exist: a mermaid. It turns into a Caribbean adventure with scuba diving, drugs and a mermaid.

I don't have a press release or a blog tour scheduled. And with the pandemic, no current plans for local events just yet.

Thanks for your thought!

Sorry if I'm over-enthusiastic. I've done 3 paperback books of my own and helped friends with others and ran magazines and such.

Wow. Coo.

Those would be good ways to promote the book.

Anyhow, let me know what you'd like me to post here. Ideally, I'd like a link to a page where folks can buy your book, whether that's your author site or the publisher's site or wherever.

Giving it some thought, how about just a boost in signal from you? I know lots of people follow you here so maybe some of them are in the mood or market for one of my books.

Here is my author website: https://sicklersstories.wordpress.com/
And here is my Amazon author page where you can purchase my books: https://www.amazon.com/s?i=digital-text&rh=p_27%3AE.+Sickler&s=relevancerank&text=E.+Sickler&ref=dp_byline_sr_ebooks_1

Again, any help is greatly appreciated, thank you! And you ROCK!!!
