Lynn, The press releases with AuthorHouse really were a waste of time and money! I was so green that I paid them 750/US for the expanded promotion and 45o for Internet promotion. Can you spell I-D-I-O-T? Well, enough crying over spilt greenbacks.

I am finding that I'm getting a response by following up one by one on the list of 550 newspapers, radio stations and TV shows that AH sent me. But as you said, most of the people that I talk to never saw or read my original press release. Fortunately, I'm also getting a response outside of my region.

I'm glad to hear that you did receive publicity, but I wonder why it was only local. Your story should have international appeal... Are you working on anything else now? I've forgotten if I've already asked you that :-)

Best, Sigrid
