Samantha Dunn replied to the discussion 'Book trailers' in the group Marketing and Promotion
"Great info, Deborah. Thanks--I might pick your brain some more when my next book comes out. Wish I had done something like this for my last one especially (latin music and mambo featured prominently)..."
Samantha Dunn replied to the discussion 'Book trailers' in the group Marketing and Promotion
"Such an interesting idea, and it's obviously gaining momentum as the next must-do...but I have to ask, how much is this costing? Is anyone besides me wondering how to pay for the needed promotion? I seem to have left my trust fund, uhm, in my…"

"Hey crazy girl...nice to see you, in whatever form it is!"
Samantha Dunn commented on the group 'Marketing and Promotion'
"Hey amigas...as Rachel said, we've been talking about how much more effective the party idea is as opposed to the traditional bookstore reading circuit. I swear I've sold more books that way--but more than that, I've established…"

Jennie Nash said… - Hi Samantha Dunn. I was seeing your work everywhere for awhile -- then I think I stopped opening my mail or leaving my house. You know how it goes. Hope all things are going well!

Dinah Lenney said… - Aargh. Hi Sam. How are you? Call me up. Send me an email. I'm so bad at these member things, facebook, yadda yadda, I go to these places and people are talking about, like, what they had for breakfast, or when they last went to yoga, or they're taking quizzes to find out who they actually are, and and and -- god, I'm a dinosaur, I'm a grump, I'm a spoiler, I know, I know, but I just don't get it... Do you? (How are your boys, please, and are we supposed to be talking about writing? Because that's all I do -- talk about it, I mean...)
