Friday Morning Ramblings

February 17, 2012 D.A. Adams Leave a comment

About to hit the road on my way to Con Nooga at the Chattanooga Choo Choo. This will be the first major event for the re-launch of my series under SSP, so I’m bubbling with excitement. I’ll be rooming with my good friend and colleague Stephen Zimmer and am looking forward to seeing some old friends I’ve not seen for some time: Andy Deane, Kimberly Richardson, Paul and Michael Bielaczyc, Ed Crandell, Sean Taylor, Allan Gilbreath, and the many friends and fans I’ve made in Chattanooga. If I’ve left anyone out, please forgive me. I’ll be in the dealer’s room at the Seventh Star booth most of the weekend, so please come by and see me.

I’ll try to post an update sometime tomorrow, but with the way most shows go, that may have to wait until Monday. I will send in updates to Facebook and Twitter (@authordaadams), so if you want to keep up with the festivities, you can follow me there. This weekend is a major milestone in my writing career because it’s my first real public appearance not as an independent author, and with the new covers and gorgeous artwork Bonnie Wasson has given me, I’m excited to see the response. It’s time to shake some foundations and rattle some windows, so get ready Choo Choo; D. A. Adams is coming to town!

Monday Afternoon Ramblings

This post is specifically for my friends and readers who enjoy my series. I need your help. With the reissues of books one and two, there’s been some good buzz and a decent number of initial sales, but I need to expand my audience base tremendously this year. That’s the only way I’m ever going to reach the point of writing full-time, and at this point in my life, I have to retire from education within the next year or two and focus exclusively on writing. This where I need your help.

Seventh Star Press has given me an excellent platform, with outstanding covers and a lot of exposure through various blogs/reviewers, but even with that, I still feel like an unknown commodity. If you are a fan of the series, I’m appealing to you for two specific things: 1) The books need more reviews on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Goodreads. If you can, please write reviews and post them to these sites. The more reviews each book receives, the more other readers will see that this series has some depth and quality to it. Just like anything, the more people who have already tried something, the more others will be willing to try it themselves. 2) Please, help me spread the word by reposting links on your social networking pages like Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Four Square, and anything else you might use. One of the secrets to the algorithms used by Facebook and Google for deciding what to show people is the volume of shares and traffic a page gets, so the more activity, the more likely they will show my stuff. If you could share my author’s page or the main page for the series to your wall, it could go a long way to sparking more volume.

I understand that you are busy and probably have a million things on your to-do list, but if you could help me with these two things, it would go a long way to boosting interest in the series and allowing me to focus more on writing. Some of you have been with me from the beginning and have already helped tremendously; some of you have only discovered the series in the last year or two. Either way, I’m asking you personally to please help me spread the word. As always, thank you for your support.

Please, take a moment to look at the pages I’ve created for each book. The link below takes you to the main page for the series, where you can jump to each individual book. From there, each one has links to the most popular outlets for purchasing each one, including Kindle and Nook. Please, let me know what you think and help me spread the word about the re-launch of the series.
