Promo - Love it or Hate it

Over the last few days I've been thinking about what promo I should do for when FORBIDDEN hits the shelves, and basically freaking out. Luckily, the awesome Amanda Ashby calmed me down with great advice, which basically amounts to this. Do what you're comfortable with doing, and concentrate on writing the next book.

Strangely enough, Nathan Bransford has a post on his blog today tackling the same question. And basically his advice is this. "do what you're best at. Don't make yourself miserable doing what you think you should be doing, do what you enjoy doing."

Do you enjoy promo? What do you think works/doesn't work? And what do you think of book trailers?

The wonderful Shelley Munro has a great post on her blog about promo, which I found massively helpful as I stumble my way through that tangled maze. After reading her post I went and joined AuthorsDen an online community of readers and authors (and it was free to join!!)

Then I decided to revamp my website. Again. I think I really like it this time! If you have a moment I'd love to know what you think of it!

And finally today my CP Amanda Ashby has put her completely adorable new cover up on her blog for her Spring 09 release, Zombie Queen of Newbury High. And how fabulous is that title!!!
