I really enjoy reader-fan conferences like Rom Con and Left Coast Crime because you get to visit with other writers and spend time socializing with readers.

That aspect of marketing took a nose dive once I became heavily invested in Facebook and Twitter. I know my marketing efforts are paying off because a lot of times I hear this from people I've never met: I've heard of you. Now if they would all buy my books!<br /><br />I wish you luck with your career and your marketing!<br /><br />MaggieMaggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740858803121444958.post-79902562429961626212015-03-25T23:24:38.826-04:002015-03-25T23:24:38.826-04:00Hi Beverly,
