BEAMING DOWN: Roswell, New Mexico is rated ET, for "Entirely Tasteless Mocking of Beliefs Not Our Own." And check out Doreen's podcast page, where the current offering is "How a shrink became a writer." More are coming soon; can't wait to hear "Mobile Martinis."
While I was at VaBook last week, Doreen emailed me:
Celestial Seasonings just picked QUEEN OF THE ROAD as their June book club pick. (Bet you didn't even know they had one, eh?) This came about b/c I ran out of tea in Modesto, went on their website to order, saw they had a partnership with Random House for a book club and asked the marketing person there to check it out for me.I shared this anecdote during my "Promoting Like a Pro" panel as an example of how one has to be open to "outside the box" opportunities--and pounce on them as soon as they appear.
Doreen's web site should also be noted for its excellence in programming, both in size of options, and the type of contents. There's a lot there for quiet or committed friends (a psychiatry pun, sorry).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bella! Thanks, Keey!
ReplyDeleteBut, Kelly - psychiatry puns are committable offenses in 37 states. I'm going to research right now if yours is one.
