One bookstore at a time

My book is being groomed as a backlist book – that means in the first year, we must see a steady stream of sales so I can officially become the queen of Smart Selling on the Phone and Online (that’s unless all my fingers fall out and my brain dies before this happens).

I’m a bit late on this realization but I’ve got to check out the bookstore circuit big time and get my book out there to the real world- not the virtual one. (that means I can wear make-up and my new jacket that I bought last week)

So I started some power dialing into bookstores and giving them my pitch- local author, best seller status on new non-fiction sales book, fun personality, can tap into my 35 years of living in San Francisco and fill a room and they said yes. In my scrappy way of just picking up the phone and dialing away- one book store at a time. .

Want to hear what I sound like? Here’s a recording:
