Bio
Anthony Elmore writes from his home in Roswell, Georgia. He’s a blood relation to Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth and has huge mutant big toes. He’s only proud of one of those distinctions. He suffers from a rare, yet uncategorized psychological condition where he is unable to pass a mirror or any reflective surface without making a funny face. He is a lover of fine storytelling, history, silly jokes, books, Legos and spicy foods. He’s married to Anna, whom he depends on to keep his posture and his outlook upright. His opinions on politics, religion and culture have forever excused him from jury duty, town meetings and most social events. He keeps a blog where he posts short “Odes to Found Objects”, opinions, observations and notes on the writing life at http://www.barelyok.com. He’s nears completion of The Rapture Express, a young adult novel set in 1976 which blends KISS, pecan logs, Christians and Huggy Bear. He'll let you know once it’s finished.

Let’s Have an Ebook Sleepover (We can even tell Ghost Stories)

Rate: 0 Flag

2012 is prophesized to be ePublishing’s breakout year. What’s been different about this movement is that writers have become more communitarian that competitive. We no longer have to compete for Team Traditional Publishing’s attention like the new kid at school. We can be a one-person team, but we still need each other’s help.

Launching Farting in Church took some courage. I had to believe that my book deserved readership. To those who bought it, thank you. Yet, I haven’t promoted myself or my work as I should have. So far, I have sold 25 copies and that’s without any marketing on my part.

That will change.

Here’s what I propose.  Let’s have a blogger sleepover. Do you have an ebook or print book and a blog? Want to cross promote each other? I guest blog at your place and you blog at mine? We can braid each other’s hair and tell ghost stories if you want. Let’s talk.

This is not about “I’ll scratch your back and you scratch mine.” I have a back scratcher for that. What we are doing is helping each other expand our readership family.

If you’re like me, your daily blog hits are probably small, but by introducing our readers to each other, our readership can and will grow. A few dozen blog hits can easily turn to hundreds. That can translate to book sales.

If you want to trade guest posts, contact me at barelyok at gmail.com. Make sure to mention your ebook/book and where to buy it.

I look forward to hearing from you.
