Release Day!

Today is the day for the official release of First Step! This morning I did all the things for social media and starting to get the word out. This weekend I’ll run ads for the new book and I think I’ve got a good promo if I don’t run into any issues with the ad copy. Also, I got my own physical copy of the book today and I have to say it looks fantastic. Lots of nice reactions on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, but now they need to translate into sales. I also entered the book into some contests and reviews yesterday, with a few more to come as they open up their contest windows. Once those start coming in I can use them to promote the book and that’ll certainly help. This book is quite different from First so I’m interested to see how it’s received. Plus, as a coda at the end I framed it as Ray’s Notes instead of Author’s Notes, letting one of the book’s narrators interview me. Yeah, a little self-indulgent, but I figure if I’m writing the book I can go off the rails a little bit. Anyway, I’m excited for the book to be officially out in the wild. I’m proud of it and worked hard to make it as good as possible.
