But she told my son she was vilified by the family for "starting trouble". So, I’m feeling pretty good about myself for having done my Christian duty by helping this young girl but three weeks later she’s back at school and back at home with her abuser and I’m like “What the…just happened?” I’ll never know why she was sent back to that house. I felt awful for the girl, so I write an anonymous letter to the school explaining the situation and to my surprise she gets taken out of the school and sent to live with relatives in another state.
One day my 13 year old son (he’s now 16 and super cute) came home from school and tells me about a female friend who shared with him that she was being molested by her stepfather and her mother called her a liar and didn’t believe her. If I could I would send them all an Edible Arrangements but since I'm with a tiny, tiny, did I say tiny publisher a big fat wet, juicy internet kiss will have to do.
My prediction is with their help within a year I would have generated some buzz in the YA community.
I know that doesn't sound like a large number but considering I'm only two weeks into the marketing process, I think I'm going in the right direction. Because I'm with a very tiny, tiny, did I say tiny publisher most of the marketing falls in my lap. One thing I've learned is that an author/writer/publisher can't successfully market a book without the help of book bloggers, they provide an invaluable service to writers. Now, I'll have four bloggers agreeing to run an interview or a giveaway simultaneously. I just got the good news from book blogger Tawni of the Book worms that she will agree to post a giveaway of my first book in the Chick friends rules series, Freshman year. I'm bold enough to believe that I might actually pull this book marketing thing off.
