Spreading The Love Or How To Promote Without Facebook

By Cynthia Sax on June 17, 2020

I’m still locked out of Facebook.

I won’t minimize it. I was devastated yesterday when this happened. Facebook is my primary contact for reading and writing buddies. It is where I chat about my books, talk craft and make connections with other writers, interact with readers on a more personal basis.

There have been plenty of debates about whether or not a writer can have a viable writing career without access to Facebook. I might be the test case for that (grins).

I DO know I’m super happy I have this blog and Twitter and Instagram and my newsletter (writing buddies, if you haven’t downloaded your newsletter subscriber list and saved it in a safe place, do that NOW).

On the marketing side, I’m happy for AMS and BookBub ads, permafree first in series and reading buddies following me at the booksellers. I’m grateful for writer services that might be able to promote my stories on Facebook without me having a profile there.

And I’m feeling more comfortable with my decision to have my stories available everywhere, not merely in KU. Because I don’t like the idea of one company controlling my fate and the fate of my reading buddies.

I found out yesterday how bad that can be.

Other Chameles view him as the enemy.

She sees the warrior hero he never believed he could be.

Tolui is a Warlord in search of a planet to rule. He has been leading his fellow clones in a stealth battle, fighting for both control of the Chamele sector and the right to exist. The brave warriors he commands warrant respect, and they deserve the best.

That best isn’t the barren, dangerous terrain on Chamele 4. When Tolui crashes on that planet’s surface, he’s determined to leave it as soon as possible. The tiny human female rescuing him might be as beautiful and as wild as the land she inhabits, but her flowing words, trusting gaze, and enthralling submission won’t stop him from rejoining the war.

After many solar cycles of living alone, Lea is overjoyed when a tall, scarred, muscular warrior falls from the sky. Her savage stranger is strong and severe, and he makes her feel safe, an emotion she hasn’t experienced in a long, long time.

He also insists they must part. Before they do, she’ll show him the splendor of her home, and she’ll enjoy his big form, collecting passionate moments she can revisit when she’s solitary once more.

Every additional moment Lea and Tolui spend together increases the chance they’ll both die. Lea is being chased by female-hating fiends. Tolui is being hunted by the best bounty hunters in the universe. War will soon arrive on their threshold, and the blood spilled might be their own.
