Hello friend,
Just a quick note to let you know there is still room for YOU on the Book Launch Team!
The offer for the FREE advance copy of the ebook expires in two days (midnight on May 1st). After that, you’ll have to wait two more weeks, and (I’m sorry, but…) you’ll have to pay for it.
You might be wondering…what’s the catch? Why is Linda willing to give away her hard work for free?
Because, I’d love your help in promoting my book! My reach in the real and virtual world only goes so far. But if ten people join my team, that reach expands 10-fold. If twenty join, then 20-fold. You get the picture. 📸
🎁 In case you missed it in last week’s newsletter, here are the benefits for every team member:
A FREE ebook (several formats available) of Empty-Nest Joyride (a $9.99 value) to read in advance!
A chance to win a $10 Starbucks gift card (one drawing for every 5 people who sign up)
An entry to win one $25 gift card to Amazon, Bookshop.org, or Barnes & Noble—your choice
An invitation to join my private virtual launch party
The satisfaction of supporting an indie author (me!) on this exciting journey!
📣 And here are the team member responsibilities:
Share graphics or videos (I’ll provide) 1–3 times before/during launch week, on your social network of choice…Facebook, Instagram, Substack, newsletter, podcast, etc.
Purchase a print copy of the book for $15.99 on release day: May 15, 2025
After you’ve read the book, leave an honest review on Amazon, Goodreads, or wherever you like to share your good reads
Except for reading the book, most tasks will take less than 5 minutes. I’ll make everything easy-peasy and fun!
Got questions? Leave a comment, reply to email, or message me!
Our team is currently at ten members; I’d love to double that!
Can I count on you?
SORRY…TIME’S UP!
A little note: Almost every author will tell you they love writing but despise marketing. I know it’s true for me. And yet. If no one hears about our books, no one reads them. And if no one reads them, what’s the point of writing and publishing?
I thank you for bearing with me over the next few weeks as I promote my book. Please hang in there and don’t unsubscribe. In fact, share with your friends instead—that would be amazing! I WILL be writing “normal stuff” again soon! (After all, that’s what I love!)
In fact, watch for my upcoming March-April Bookstack. It should hit your inbox this weekend!
My deepest thanks,
