Facebook is an Outstanding way for Authors to get Known.
Social networking wasn’t very will known as few as five years ago, as far as authors using it to promote their books.
Now there are thousands of authors using this approach to reaching out to readers.
My Space, Twitter, You Tube, Friendster, Linkedin, etc, have become an important part of an author’s publicity kit.
On Facebook you can show videos, pictures, images, audio, and media, that will give the “friends,” plenty of information on the author’s book.
On Twitter, you reach millions of people with one push of a key. You can also promote your book there, but many use it more for social contact, and then “lure,” the contacts into their websites, or onto Facebook.
If you can build each of your Facebook, Twitter, Blog subscribers, My Space lists to over 2,000, you will do very well when your book finally comes out.
Having these many “followers” on each of these avenues, will also impress agents and publishers.
If you haven’t started working with these promotional techniques, I strongly suggest you look into each of these channels and see if they are for you.

There are six more days left on the latest book give away, of the book, Moments This Good: The Softer Side of Alzheimer’s, Written by Bonnie Nester. Bonnie wrote about her mother Ruth.
Here is a review about the book:
“Nester offers the reader a path to gentle acceptance, and even moments of playfulness and joy-and always, always models profound love and respect for her mother.”
Ellen Waterson
Author of the award-winning memoir, Then There was No Mountain and I am Madagascar.
Bonnie has many examples for caregivers on how to be loving, and understanding at the same time.
I know the need for that as I have a 92 year old mother that battles dementia.
I highly recommend her book, and Bonnie has autographed it along with a personal note to the reader.
