Blog #28; Big push coming in June and July to encourage more of you to visit my website

 

This month I have been working hard on marketing my blog and making sure the traffic to this website is significantly increased.  I have hired an outside marketing company for a reasonable fee and if I see dramatic increases in my traffic, I will consider continuing or even increasing that company’s involvement in the future.  But for now, I just want to see what they can do.

In addition, production is set to begin on my audiobook for the novel, IN LOVE AND WAR, which is planned to be released the second week in July.  I have a talented narrator working on it, and I am sure from what I have heard so far it will be a pleasant listening experience. If you know of friends and family that don't enjoy, or have the time for, reading, but still like great stories, my audiobook might be just the thing.  I am working with the audiobook producers to make sure it is available at a reasonable price on Audible, Amazon and iTunes.  I will in the near future try to find periodic ways to make some copies of the audiobook available for free.
