A few years ago, at a party, a fellow author asked me “So how do you promote your books?” I think I told her “gently.” That might have sounded glib, but it was the truth. I’m not the kind of person that can be constantly on, turning every conversation into an opportunity to promote my latest novel.
But that doesn’t mean I’m passive. If someone asks me what I do, I lead with science fiction author (even though there are many true answers to that question). And I always have a business card ready featuring the cover art and blurbs about The Sky Woman (Book 1 of Reclaimed Earth). As it turns out, people are curious, and almost always want to know what you do. So I get to hand out quite a few of those cards.
