Promotional Whore
You know here at The Naked Page, we're all about selling books, right? You didn't think I was doing this blog for world peace or greater enlightenment or anything noble like that, did you?
It's true. I'm here partly because I love interacting with readers, partly as a little daily creative writing exercise (AKA big fat way of avoiding my work-in-progress), and partly because I want you to see that I'm so brilliantly witty and insightful that you must run or click your way to the nearest store and buy every novel I've ever written (and also pre-order the ones awaiting publication).
So this begs the question, how can you buy my books unless you know when they arrive in stores? And, how can you, Dear Reader, know exactly when they arrive in stores?
Answer: Subscribe to my newsletter!
But first, you must know that I'm willing to resort to bribery. To entice you, I hold a contest for my newsletter subscribers every month. This is your chance to win free stuff.
This month, there will be FIVE winners of my contest. Five randomly drawn subscribers to my newsletter will each get to choose any book from my backlist as their prize.
Okay, I know, it's not exactly a cruise to Tahiti, but it's better than getting one of those stupid "DEAR MADAME, YOU DO NOT KNOW KNOW ME YET, BUT I HAVE FIVE MILLION DOLLARS I DEARLY NEED TO TRANSFER INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT FROM THE NATION OF ZIMBABWE IF YOU WOULD JUST SO KINDLY GIVE ME YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER..." letters in the mail, isn't it? (And can you believe it, we actually got one of those letters in the MAIL today?! Not in email, but postal mail! Some idiots actually paid for international postage to mail it to us. That must mean someone, somewhere, is falling for their line of crap.)
So anyway, back to the whoring: Sign up for my newsletter. Win stuff. It's all good.
