Promo Wordcount

All right. When you sell, you will probably want to advertise. That means that you will probably have to massage your text, back cover copy, to fit into an ad. I've been slow in doing this for Heart Dance because I've been concentrating on writing.

However, in the past I've done ads as much as 300 words and as little as 15 (not to mention the banner ads).

So know your story and its hooks. The following are various ads for Heart Duel that were in my files and easily pulled up.

NOTE, you might be called for an ad, like, TODAY, so have them ready...

Following RITA(R) Winner HeartMate and 4 1/2 Stars Top Pick Heart Thief...

Holm Holly and Lark Collinson -- he's a fighter, she's a healer. Their Families are at war. This isn't the time to fall in love.

This story could not be put down. [T]he challenges Holm and Lark face...make them ready [for] their future. Keep them coming! I'm waiting! Kathy Boswell, Managing Editor of The Best Reviews

An artist, a magician and a wonderful storyteller, Robin deftly uses all these skills in her third Celta tale that is as brilliant as first two. Deborah Anne MacGilllivray, RIO Member

Following RITA(R) Winner HeartMate and Romantic Times 4 1/2 Stars Top Pick Heart Thief...

The story of Holm Holly and Lark Collinson. He's a fighter, she's a healer. Their Families are at war. This isn't the time to fall in love.

Robin D. Owens has done it yet again. She's drawn us into her world of Celta with another story that is equally as intriguing as the two previous ones. This story could not be put down. [T]he challenges Holm and Lark face...make them ready [for] their future. All of the characters I enjoyed reading about in the other two books are in this one as well which makes it even more enjoyable! Keep them coming! I'm waiting!

HEART DUEL...shines with such amazing emotion. An artist, a magician and a wonderful storyteller, Robin deftly uses all these skills in her third Celta tale that is as brilliant as first two. Long may Robin D. Owens= thrill us with her very special talent. -- Deborah Anne MacGillivray, RIO Member

Robin D. Owens...provides a wonderful, gripping mix of passion, exotic futuristic settings and edgy suspense. B Jayne Ann Krentz.

Library Journal on Heart Thief: As have others before her (e.g., Anne McCaffrey, Marion Zimmer Bradley), Owens has penned a stunning futuristic tale that reads like fantasy and is sure to have crossover appeal to both sf and fantasy fans. Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
