Who Wants to be My Fan?!?

Back at work today after a three day weekend. Was supposed to spend the weekend getting my press packet ready to go out. Ended up being totally lazy and self-indulgent, mainly due to being extremely pre-menstrual. Even though I'm working four days straight this week (I know that's not a lot for many of you, but for me...it is.) I still have to write a press release and a book summary, select a photo, and get all my info together for the bullet sheet or whatever you call that purely factual sheet full of info that goes with a press packet. I should have done all this a while ago, but I was waiting for the publisher's website to be finished. It still isn't, but luckily I have my own site to keep my name out there.

Speaking of getting my name out there, I have a Fan Group on Facebook now. A dude I went to college with started it for me (at my oh-so subtle suggestion). As of this morning, I had almost 200 members, so I hope to be over 200 by the end of business today. If you haven't added me as a friend over there yet, please feel free to do so. And then, become my fan. You know you want to!
After this new book comes out, everybody and their serial killer brother is gonna be jumping on the [livejournal.com profile] wednes bandwagon. You'll want to get ahead of the game so you can tell people you liked me before it was cool. It'll totally give you some slick nerd cred. Some of you could use some slick nerd cred--not naming any names. You know who you are.
On that note, I'm offering a FREE signed copy of the new book for people kind enough to read the full pdf of Kiss Me Like You Love Me and pen a review for Amazon and post it in a few places on the web. It MUST be an honest review, and it should be at least one decent sized paragraph (at least 6-7 sentences). It does NOT have to be a favorable review if you honestly didn't think it was a good book. Feel free to shoot me an Email if you're interested in reading the pdf. The book should be available for PreOrdering at Amazon within the next week or two. I'll need the reviews posted within one week of that time.

We had an excellent dinner last night. Walnut crusted tilapia with garlic butter. Twice baked potatoes loaded with broccoli and mushrooms, buttermilk and cheddar. Yes, we will die prematurely eating like that. We're okay with that. Could be worse, could be cigs. Cigs kill you more painfully and gruesomly than comfort food, but are not nearly as delicious. Just sayin'

My goals for the here and now:
Press Packet and marketing for the new book
Outlining and preliminary drafting for the zombie novel
Podcasting: some short stories and eventually, Sadie.

If you or anyone you know wants to do a voice for my Podcast, do let me know. You do not have to travel for this, and you can use ordinary recording equipment, doesn't have to be super fancy pants. You will need the ability to send your recordings to me either via Email, a disc via snail mail, or some kind of mythical file sharing system I wouldn't know anything about because I pay for ALL my music ALL the time. Happily, I have a ton of [livejournal.com profile] peteralway's music saved up for dramatic intros and outros. Oh, and I can't pay anybody, because I don't expect to make any money doing this. I'm just getting my name out there. You will, of course, get a nice credit and my intense gratitude (which, if you ask anybody who has that, they'll tell you that my intense gratitude is pretty neat).

I would be HELLS of interested in a) reading your book ahead of its release and b) penning a wicked honest review.

And I'm heading over to Facebook right now to Fanstalk you.

Sweet. If you'd be so kind as to send me a private message on FB or an Email to my normal account (wednes@wednesdayleefriday.com) with your proper Email, I'll go ahead and send out the pdf when I get home from work tonight.
