Hey Ted,

Thanks so much for the sixer and your kind wishes. Yes, Deathmaker will be among the offerings. I'm just hoping the turnout is super duper.

So glad you like the new site. I'll be looking for you at the party, my friend.

Hugs and thanks again,
Gayle

I'm not sure how the part will work, but I'll be there.

What an innovative post. You caught my attention and will bookmark it for future reference. Love virtual food --no calories to worry about. That's a wonderful idea to raffle off a gift.

Hi and thank you for the great comments. This is a virtual party, of course, but there's lots of room to comment and the prizes are pretty good!

Hope to see you there!

Hi Wire, welcome to Fanstory and thank you for the fine review. Yes, this is all real - if virtual - and the prizes are real, too. Best of all, go on and give a shout out for your favorite author so far, and give FanStory a holler and a 'like' too. Where would we be without them?

Again, thanks and we'll see you at the launch!

Sounds like a lot of fun indeed. Do have a grand launch and I'll do my best to drop in. What a clever way to get the word out. Best of wishes...

I'll be there with bells on. Maybe you should mention 'nor84' next to my name, though.
I guess I have to write more to get past the fanstory witch with the book, but there's really nothing more to say.

Hey Freddie, isn't this exciting and look at that lovely sixer you gave me! I'll treasure it forever!

Jen is just becoming a wizzard at net marketing and we all need that so bad, don't we? It's the future of writing, for sure. Chat with her, she's a doll, see what ideas she can come up with. And I'll see you at the launch.

Be sure to contribute all over the place. After all, without you, my dear mentor, I'd never have written a coherent word!

Oh, Melanie and Jessi say hi! And Amy!

I got a sixer from Freddie. Does happy dance all over the office!

Big hugs,
Annabelle

reply by Norbanus on 11-Feb-2013

Good morning Annabelle,

I am thrilled that you have the event coming up. Promoting our work is the most important thing any author can do, but it's something no one I has a clue about. I hope Jen cat give us a nudge in that direction. Please let me know how I can contribute to the festivities.

Say hey to Amy for me.

Freddie

reply by the author on 11-Feb-2013

LOL, I have a new, real Amy! She's nine months old, about 60 pounds, and if energy could be bottled, I'd be a rich woman. Just love her and smart as a whip! I'll send you some photos soon!

Okay, for the launch, you could talk about how proud you are of Bowie being on display at the Alamo bookstore site. That's quite a statement. Also, that great review!

Oh, and you could talk about how you and Jeff searched for hours for the right photos for your cover.

And always, give Fanstory a plug. As I'm wont to say, where would we be without Tom and company! Oh, and we can you imagine? OY!

And, of course, you can offer Bowie eBooks for free, something I'd strongly suggest. I still maintain that is a best seller just languishing! Maybe Jen can work with you and get it the notice it deserves.

If I can think of anything else, I'll be back!

Maybe for the Fanstory boost we can re-release your 'Norbanus'. That won't help us on Amazon, but I was sure proud of it on FS.

reply by the author on 11-Feb-2013

That's a great idea. Let me pass that by Jeff.

Gayle love this! I do think we may need to clarify that this is a VIRTUAL Launch party that is taking place on the Facebook site and that it is come and go on those two days. Everyone should feel free to enter the giveaways and leave a comment.
Love you much
Jen

I've heard nothing but good about you, and I wish you well for the launch - selfishly, because who knows? I may be coming to you with a project one of these days ...

I'd look forward to that, Ron, and thanks for the fine words. I hope you'll drop by the party because there are two tasty raffles for just a 'like' and a tweet, lol. Is that like a song and dance? Ah, I'm getting giddy as the time draws near.

Thanks again for the wonderful review. We'll be looking for you!

Hugs,
Gayle

Check those email addresses at the bottom of the essay. Gives all our sites. And yes, I like the looks of that. It's gotta be five somewhere, gimme a maggie. Truly, it has been a helacious undertaking, getting the site changed over. Say, did you get the email from me about the change?

Thanks for the great eats and the review!

Hugs,
Gayle
