Postcards

I've always had a pretty good response to electronic postcards as promotion. At least with the postcard (with excerpts) being picked up by people on a list.

I sent out two yesterday, mostly because the first didn't work and I wondered if yahoo's spam filters caught it. One was to the Futuristic, Fantasy, and Paranormal Chapter of the Romance Writers of America and included the interview I did with T'Ash about the tattoo on the cover reissue.

So far 73 people from the 2 groups (and Linnea Sinclair's fan base -- she forwarded it) have picked the card up.

May your characters speak to you today,
