I really didn't plan on doing a Goodreads Giveaway Contest. I've done them for all of my other books, in the hopes of garnering reviews from strangers. Let's just say it feels like I've garnered A review from A stranger. Maybe two.
Can't say I love Goodreads. I hate the fact that you can give a book stars without a review. I've gotten some two and three stars on some of my books, with no explanation. I take serious critiques of my books very seriously. How do I know what they didn't like? I also hate seeing those "To-Read" numbers, because they never change. Two hundred seventy-two people plan to read Snoopy's book.
What's stopping you? Tick-tock, people!
Still, I'm doing another giveaway, for Murder on the Hoof. You've got two weeks to enter. Good luck!
In the meantime, here's the book video. Marcus did the music. He's so cool.

Some days are like a box of chocolates. Others are like a carnival game.
In either case, you never know what you're going to get, but at least I like chocolates. Carny games can give you a cute stuffed animal or a cheap plastic spork.
So today, I was going to write and submit my column, then fill out the form to enter a contest, then call the woman at the Horse Expo Pomona to get extra ad space for my booth at the Book Corral. How did that work out for me?
Column written, edited, submitted - check. It's a good one, too, about a group in Placentia. Very topical.
Forms to enter a contest filled out - check. All I have to do is mail the books.
Horse Expo ads - check with a CAVEAT. Uh-oh.
To get the fullest bang for my buck, I needed to send seven (7) photos of my "product", a URL where people can find it, a 40-word description, and a YouTube video. Like I said, uh-oh. I don't have a book video of Snoopy's memoir.
Make that "I didn't have a book video." I spent the better part of the morning tossing something together. I won't say it's my most shining moment. I'm not Scorsese, for Pete's sake. It reminds me a little of a salad - a lot of things tossed together - but it moves in a fairly linear motion. I'm not cringing.
Now it's time to package my books and head off to the ranch, with a brief stop at the post office. Later, Peeps.
