blogging for authors: another example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following is a notice from publicist Kathryn Hall, commenting on a notice in last week's issue:“I'm actually doing something akin, but slightly different. I just launched the blog http://www.plantwhateverbringsyoujoy.com, the title of the book I have written, but not yet published. I won't use any material from the book (which lends itself to later excerption), but am establishing a wide, new audience for a voice not usually associated with me, given that my primary focus has been promoting others' books for the last 27 years! I'm beyond thrilled with the entire blog process and I highly recommend it as a path. I have transcended all kinds of techno barriers and have entered a world that I love, where I belong!”
