Call for Influencers for The Blue Enchantress!

Hey everyone. I've been out sick with a cold for the past few days. You know the kind of cold that makes your head feel like it weighs 1000 pounds? Well, anyway, I'm starting to get geared up for my next book release, The Blue Enchantress. Be on the lookout during the month of July for some free giveaways! As in books and some extra goodies!
But for now, I'm putting out a formal call for influencers. What is an influencer, you might ask?

An influencer is a person who does as many of the following as possible.


1. Reads The Blue Enchantress (a free copy is sent to you from my publisher)

2. Posts a review on one or all of the following sites

a. Amazon.com
b. Christianbook.com
c. Goodreads
d. Barnes and noble.com

3. If you liked the book, tell all your friends and family about it.

4. If you have a blog, post your review on your blog or have me as a guest blogger...etc.

5. If you are a part of Facebook, Shoutlife, Myspace or other online community, post a review about the book there.

6. If your church has a library or bookstore, tell the manager about the book.

7. Basically, just help me spread the word about the book.


Believe it or not, the best marketing ploy I'm told is simply word of mouth. So, if you like The Blue Enchantress, my hope is that you'll help me by telling other people about it.
If that sounds like something you'd like to do, then please leave a comment with your email addy so I can contact you to get your address. That way Barbour can send you a book when they become available. (Probably in a month)

    This sounds really great! Can anybody be an "influencer" even if they don't have a blog, facebook, myspace,etc.? I would enjoy doing the reviews and telling people about the book (I'm really excited about reading this one!). I've enjoyed all your other books immensely thus far!

    I love your writing, MaryLu, and would love to spread the word about The Blue Enchantress if you can use any more influencers. I'm one of the leaders of an online Christian fiction group with 400+ members and would be glad to post a review there, as well as other online sites and among reading friends at church.

    I can't wait to read the Blue Enchantress. The Red Siren was amazing, and as a fellow author, I love reading your work.
    God Bless,
