Unlucky Charms' First Month

by Linda O. Johnston

Once again the first Monday of the month turns out to occur during the second week.  Happy November, everyone!  Hope you're all ready for the year to end soon.  It's certainly going fast.

As I said last month, my third Superstition Mystery, UNLUCKY CHARMS, was released on October 8.  Fun!   

To help introduce it, I did my standard and enjoyable blog tour and also guest blogged where invited.  I attended in-person events and visited bookstores to sign copies and leave bookmarks.  If there weren't any copies, I requested that they order them, and most managers were highly accommodating, at least in my local area.

I introduced it on Facebook, my standard social media resource.  I know a lot of you reading this use other social media as well but when I've tried others I wind up going back to focus on FB.  My quirk, perhaps, but I think it works well for me.

Since the release, I also took a family trip to Indiana and New York City.  When I could, I also popped into bookstores there and at least left bookmarks.  It was fun to see UNLUCKY CHARMS in bookstores both in Indiana and NYC.

So... UNLUCKY CHARMS is being lucky for me.  My fingers are crossed that all of you have a great November, too.
