I am pleased to present an excerpt of Gabe's Guardian Angel 

by Beverly Stowe McClure

Synopsis: 

Gabe never asked for an angel…

 

Gabe Montana’s clumsy. He’s overweight, and he’s dyslexic. Worse yet, the bullies make his fifteen-year-old life even more miserable—so miserable he wants to die. 

 

Charley, his guardian angel, says no to that idea, and comes up with a different plan. He’ll give Gabe self-confidence so he can solve his problems, not run away from them. But Gabe wonders why the angel doesn’t just help with the bullies. What’s with this self-confidence stuff? 

 

Can Charley help Gabe stand on his own two feet? Will Gabe give up hope life can improve for him? Or will he finally listen to the angel’s advice?

I am pleased to present an excerpt of Music Boxes by Tonja Decker

Synopsis: 

A Barnes & Noble “5 Spooky New Middle Grade Books for Campfire Chills!”

 

“I only desire your talent...”

 

Twelve-year-old Lindsey McKay's biggest dream is to be a famous ballerina. But after moving to New York, she ends up at the Community Center with a teacher who’s a burly bear in tights.

 

When she meets Madame Destinée, the teacher of a top dance school who offers her classes for free, Lindsey can't believe her luck. In exchange, she must perform in the school’s exclusive midnight shows, ones sure to make her a star. But something’s not right...

 

One by one, the other dancers disappear. Each time they do, a music box with a figurine just like the missing ballerina joins Madame Destinée’s growing collection. If Lindsey doesn’t discover the truth about the dance school, she might end up a tiny figurine herself.

Marketing Tips at Write What Inspires You - Libraries

Welcome to Write What Inspires You edition of Marketing Tips and Inspiration. Last week I reached out through my blogpost and asked viewers to share their marketing tips. 

L. Diane Wolfe of Dancing Lemur Press LLC shared a fabulous tip that I want to bring to the forefront of author's in every genre.

"Marketing to libraries is one of our big focuses. We send a sell sheet and an author sheet to them, both enticing them to buy copies and have the author in for a visit. Libraries don't return books and have to replace ones that wear out, which I love."

Thank you Diane! 

Here is today's partial snippet of my latest book listed in our local library system...

Don't forget to add libraries to your marketing toolbox.

Good luck!
