My problem with doing all that before the book was in my hand was the fear I would jinx it. I am very superstitious, and I just knew if I set up a website and announced it on Facebook, something horrible would happen and the book would never get published. (I didn't do all those things and something horrible happened anyway, my car wreck, so I guess fate showed me!)<br /><br />Now that Gumbo Justice is out there, I am beating the pavement and keyboard double time to catch up promotion-wise. On the plus side, I'll be ahead for when the second book comes out, now that the superstitious element has been overcome. <br /><br />You give excellent advice I hope everyone follows as early as possible.<br /><br />Holli Castillo,<br />Gumbo Justice<br />www.gumbojustice.netHolli Castillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15976235735822063166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3164137142811869136.post-3855682466553675682009-08-12T09:58:01.936-07:002009-08-12T09:58:01.936-07:00More excellent advise well delivered.
