Mariposa: a Soft Sell

It's a tough road to be on, trying to sell a book in a market that's full of writers trying to sell their books. And how does one do it and not be obnoxious or pushy or any of those bad adjectives?

Well, if you're our Carolyn, aka CL McCullough, you sit quietly as your book releases and hope somebody notices.

But if you have a short mouthy friend who doesn't understand quiet....

MARIPOSA IS OUT!
BUY IT NOW!!

Mariposa is the story of a witch after World War One in the Appalachian mountains. Her grandmother has just died, she's been having dreams of a dragon who shifts into a man and there just might be an evil hanging around that Mari has to do something about.

IF YOU DON'T BUY A COPY OF MARIPOSA, YOUR PARTNER WILL SUFFER FROM ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION!!

Buy it on AMAZON

Two men show up in Mari's life: a stranger named Huw and a roving photographer Nick. Mari discovers they both have secrets but will their lies prove dangerous to her?

THE THIRD LETTER IN EVERY 45th PARAGRAPH OF MARIPOSA CONTAINS A HIDDEN CLUE FOR WHERE A MILLION DOLLARS AND GEORGE CLOONEY'S UNDERPANTS ARE HIDDEN!

Buy it from Barnes & Noble

Mari discovers the dragon she dreamed is real and the world he's so carefully hidden, needs her help to survive. Now this innocent witch must battle the world's oldest evil and save a people who just might save her own heart.

NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN THE WRITING OF MARIPOSA BUT HANDCUFFS WERE USED FOR VARIOUS REASONS!!!

Buy it from ALL ROMANCE EBOOKS

So this is what what we call a soft sell. Come back later for the hard sell.

  2. Lea, I'm with you on Clooney's underpants, but you could always sell them on ebay.

  3. Is it okay to mention the book is cheapest at All Romance? Only $3.50. Go small booksellers!

  4. Um.... cheaper? Well that could affect my bottom line which is the amount of books that Carolyn puts in my Kindle.

    Which one is most expensive? Buy there!

    Or buy from all 3 places. Yeah! That's the ticket!!

  5. Um...thank you, Lori. I think.

    BTW, George's underpants are off the table - so to speak. He decided nay and offered a used straw instead. I hope this doesn't interfer with your plan to have his love child.

    *ducks and runs*

  8. This was absolutely hilarious and of course I bought a copy before even reading this post. If I was on the fence, this would have pushed me over though.
