Re: Kydd's Mock Videos in Progress for Wrath of Angels
HI Tirzah. As you know, I simply don't have time to check out the forum very often, but this morning I have a spare 10, so here I am, and what do I find?
YOU'RE GOING TO VEGAS?? That's it, I'm never checking the forum again. I know you deserve a holiday (even if you disguise as 'work') but its not fair!
I also saw a call for a new contest (maybe from Kydd?) Someone with money (ha, ha) should get a contest going and the winner winds a trip to Vegas. I'd enter, and of course I'd win...maybe I could be there in August, and we could finally meet?

Re: Kydd's Mock Videos in Progress for Wrath of Angels
It really is work. I go on a sales trip once a year. I have meetings from 8am to 9pm or later because it includes breakfast and dinner meetings. I am a very picky eater so most of the time I end up eating the Kudos bars I stashed in my suitcase. By the middle of the week, you are worn out, tired and sick of being at work 24/7. They do give us approximately four hours on Thursday to do what we want but with the understanding we won't drink, doing anything illegal or cause the company embarrassment. Oh and I must be back for the awards dinner that night. Oh joy.
And in my free hours after 9pm I have to answer all my voicemails, emails and fix any customer service issues that arrived during the day. It takes me hours each night.
I tell people I've seen all the finest hotels and airports. I rarely see the towns or attractions of the places work sends me to. I've been to Miami twice, Orlando twice---haven't seen anything but the hotel, airport and cab.
I did get to see a strip mall when we were at Phoenix. And in San Diego, I got to ride the monorail (that was the highlight of my trip).
Well I suppose the dinner meetings are in resturants but since I don't eat there and its all work talk, I find it similiar to a dental appointment.
And all those meetings are me sitting in a room with 20 other people nodding our head and asorbing new product information.
So if you want to switch and go in my place, I'm up for it.
Because after paying for the dog sitter, I never have cash for a real vacation and I definately do not count these trips as fun. BLah! Don't let the destination fool you. This is not a fun trip and could never be mistaken for a holiday.
LOL. Even if you got to Vegas, I could only see you between 11pm and 5am because all the other time is booked with work or getting ready for work.
But like I said, you want to go in my place, I am SO up for it.

Re: Kydd's Mock Videos in Progress for Wrath of Angels
Jano needed a temporary cover for the BOOK 1---I sent him the more orange font one. Okay with you I hope.
I'm at work and that is the only one I had at my fingertips. I need to send him the higher resolution ones too.

Re: Kydd's Mock Videos in Progress for Wrath of Angels
I sent him the one you sent me...
It's probably the same one. I always carry my thumbdrive with me to work, so I had it along with the others you've given me... I think it would have been funny to have sent him a velvet painting clown pic whahahahahaha... as a joke, of course. Or an Elvis with wings... whahahahahahahahahaha.

Re: Kydd's Mock Videos in Progress for Wrath of Angels
I can't get in far enough to see what membership costs, but it's got some awesome music clips for trailers on it. I found a few that would totally work for Homo Necans.

Yeah and my video program has some indy/rock ones but I don't think the plot fits indy rock.

Re: Kydd's Mock Videos in Progress for Wrath of Angels
Hi folks, regarding book marketing, have any of you started (or considered) selling your books on Facebook? I came across information on selling (via their store options). It looks to me that there is a 5% holdback (no other fees involved) on what we sell. I love the look of this, lots of room for pictures, descriptions, etc.
Would really like to see feedback from any of you who have gone that route.
Looking forward to learning more! Irene/Kyla

Re: Kydd's Mock Videos in Progress for Wrath of Angels
Facebook store? Hmmm, will have to take a look. I knew about their ad thing, but didn't know they had a store. I wonder if this is one of the changes they made when they revamped it? I heard something was changing about it on the news the other night.

Re: Kydd's Mock Videos in Progress for Wrath of Angels
Hi Kydd
My use of the word 'store' could be inappropriate. I just picked a word I used from the page I was on. I imagine its mainly about advertising all right, sorry if I misguided you. But my idea of the ad ideas was that it would be just that a short ad, whereby I learned that you can put in much more than just a picture when you 'store' your work.

lokked into this and there is a facebook store app. something called sortprice. It doesn't seem to be too big of a thing right now and I didn't spend a bunch of time checking it out, but it is there. As for Facebook ads, I tried that and it was mildly frustrating. I had clicks that sent them to the amazon page to purchase my book, but not sure if anyone actually did buy it during that time.
Songbird and Lie to Me are available at Amazon and B&N

Re: Kydd's Mock Videos in Progress for Wrath of Angels
Hi Penang
Thanks for responding. I'll likely give it a go and see what happens but my brain is leading towards "a group" of us chatting it up on Facebook every day or so on what we have out there for sale. It can't hurt to blab it up about how much we like each other's novels.
Mine won't be published until almost Christmas, but what the heck. I use my
www.haveyouseengladys.blogspot.com to post bits from my novel, hoping that people will see them and get interested.
I'm going to work at getting our local newspaper to do a blurb for me and I am thinking about strip ads at the bottom of the newspaper page -- occasionally -- saying HAVE YOU READ GLADYS TRIPALONGS PRIVATE JOURNALS, and a contact. But I have to check to cost first. Then likely I will faint and forget it!
ALso, we do have colleges here and I will check out thier newsletters, etc.
Concerning my sequel, which I will soon start posting on this site, I will likely go kindle and e-book only, but that's a ways down the road. ![]()
And now, off I go to copy and review one of your stories. Cheers, Irene

Re: Kydd's Mock Videos in Progress for Wrath of Angels
HI Sharon, I love it too. Tirzah's creativity is awesome. A friend is sending me some cute animal "stuff"
I'm going to use them here and there on facebook and blog to entire interest in the book. People love animals. Gladys should have been an old cat instead of an old bat!
