Happy New Year!

I hope the first few days of 2012 are treating you well.  My New Year's resolution for 2012 is a rather simple one...sell my book.  I have way too many copies in my attic and Mike and I are talking about renovating it so they need to leave!  I'm thinking my summer project will be to try and find an agent.  In the meantime, I'm doing something kind of crazy-I'm writing Ellen Degeneres and sending her a copy of my book in hopes that she will let me come to the Riff-Raff room and sell the book at the store.  Finally, one of my co-workers is heavily involved with his local library so I'm going to see if he can hook me up. 

There are a couple new little coffee shops in my area and a small independently owned bookstore that I want to check out.  I have to be honest with myself, I think if I'm not successful this year with pushing my book, I'm going to move on.  I still enjoy writing for fun and I may continue that, but from day one, I felt satisfied that I became published. 

I'm open to any other ideas that you may have or know of any little bookstores that I can tackle.  Thanks and have a Happy and Blessed New Year!
