Donna 's writing experience with LOVE, CHRISTMAS - MOVIES YOU LOVE
1. What is your main objective in bundling your works with other authors?
I absolutely LOVE finding new readers. These bundles sell really (really!) well, so I figure I am reaching an amazing number of readers. I realize my stories won’t appeal to every one of those readers, but I hope some of them will enjoy my books enough to seek out other stories I’ve written.
2. What blogging, newsletter and social media promotions have you done to promote the LOVE, CHRISTMAS collection?
I’ve blogged about LOVE, CHRISTMAS 2 at Awesome Romance Novels blog (http://awesomeromancenovels.blogspot.com/),
on my own blog (http://donnafasano.blogspot.com/),
and at Authors’ Billboard blog (https://authorsbillboard.com/blog/).
I’ve sent out a newsletter to my readers, and I’ve posted on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. I love social media and I have a fabulous time interacting with readers.
3. Most authors require a large time commitment just in writing and editing a new book. Was this your first book set, a new book was required with a deadline?
I’ve participated in many ebook bundles with other authors. Some of the bundles required a never-before-published book, others did not. LOVE, CHRISTMAS 2 did require a new, never-before-published story and mine is titled HER MR. MIRACLE.
4. When will you publish your writings outside the LOVE, CHRISTMAS collection? HER MR. MIRACLE will be available as an ebook and as a paperback during the first week of December. The paperback would make a great gift for the romance readers on your gift-giving list. I wish everyone a very happy holiday season!
