Lately I’ve been working on the press release for A Dirge for the Temporal. Press releases are a pain in the neck to write. Thank god Darren is coming to Horrorfind otherwise I would have absolutely nothing to put in the release since you’re only supposed to put ‘news’ not flowery descriptions of the book. It’s crazy how you’re supposed to have planned all kinds of promotional events before the manuscript is even completed. Release dates are always being pushed back because who can know what’s going to happen so far in advance? But then what about all the promotional events you already scheduled. It’s madness!

Best Message Boards for Readers?
ByshaunOne thing that I have not utilized much for promotions is message boards. I don’t really like ’em and there are not many I go to. The only one I’ve really read much of is Shocklines but it seems to be more for authors than readers. So does anybody know message boards where readers hang…
