Here I sit in my office, orchestrating the “media blitz” for Blood Game. The time has come for me to reach out to as many news and media outlets as I can. Newspapers, from campus versions all the way up through major city papers. Alumni relations notices. Social media groups. Everything I can think of.

A few more to go still, and then I’ll turn my attention to FaceBook ads — one of my friends and beta readers might have some advice for me on that. And I have a list of ten local Detroit bookstores I need to contact about possible book signing events. And then I’ll consider whether to try to set any up in other places, like my hometown for example.

Not sure how much interest any of that will raise. Not sure how much of it will be effective. I have no idea what I’m doing, really. Learning as I go. All I know for sure is this … if I fail, it won’t be from lack of effort.

One other thing that’ll come together soon is my home office. Last night, Becka and I bought some new office chairs and a new (top line) printer/scanner. We have some assembly, installation, and rearranging to do this week, but by the week-end it should be done. Eagles Hill Publishing, now an official LLC, will have an official office.

I have to say, it feels pretty damn good when mail arrives addressed to “Eagles Hill Publishing.” It makes it feel real. Makes me feel professional.
