Oliver Tooley liked an update for The Bully Book

Playing the game... 

I'm getting quite creative in trying to attract the attention of publishers, and so I came up with an idea that just might work.

When my first book came out in 2012, the publisher had me work with a PR company and I ended up writing some columns in newspapers and had stories all over the place. As a result, I got to know one of the head PR people at the company.

Now, for my 2nd book - the one the publisher didn't promote as the imprint it owned was closing - I had no contact with this person, and had forgotten about them completely. But today, I decided to take a chance.

I contacted this person at the PR company directly, instead of going through the publisher, and asked if they remembered me.Fortunately they did, and after I explained that I was taking a chance venturing out on my own (no use saying bad things about a publisher, even if justified, as it's a small world, and unpleasant words ultimately hurt those hurling them) and they were very happy to read my latest work, and happy to see what they can do to help me out.

They are doing this at no cost. These people are pretty busy, so to take the time to read my work is not done on a whim.

So, let's see what happens.

But who knows, by the time they get back to me, things might be flying along here on inkshares just fine.

    Oliver Tooley liked an update for Women Like Us

    Hey all!  Over the weekend we passed the 200 pre-order mark, which I consider a milestone, and I most heartily thank everybody who has supported "Women Like Us."  As of right now we're at 206, so any followers who haven't ordered, come on and join in!  

    Now onto hopefully the last raffle in this campaign. If you haven't been following (or paying attention, and if that's the case we need to talk!) in this raffle the winner will help select the design and placement of a tattoo on my person* that will honor Derric of the Beagle Freedom Project, who has numbers and letters tattooed in his ear. The ear tattoo was the way these dogs were identified when they were in labs, so for five years Derric went by BCT-8 and did not have a name.  Somehow Derric's tattoo will be incorporated into my design, and again I am doing this as a way of honoring Derric's bravery -- he survived five years of being caged up and subjected to who knows what. And yet he has emerged as a fun, playful little clown. Could we all say the same?  Always remember when publish goal reached, 10% of book sales will go to the Beagle Freedom Project.

    So...onto the raffle.  I will be in touch with the winner and we'll figure out how to get this done.  Here, watch:

    Thanks, all. And again if you haven't pre-ordered, now's the time, and if you have, no harm in another copy!

    *Fine print: there are some restrictions on tattoo placement!!
