Do You Want Kinky Sex?

We're now in the planning stage of our next novel.  We can hardly believe it.  The plot is becoming increasingly fascinating and creative.  But our last writing session was comical.  We've all heard the Shakespearean quote of "To be or not to be".  We now have a new take on it.  Kinky sex, or not kinky sex.

After much deliberation, going back and forth, and certainly being hip grandmothers, we couldn't come up with a decision.   We know sex sells, but is that the overriding motivation?  Harrumph, guess it depends on the day.  We vacillated to a clear point of indecision.

At long last we we had a solution...leave it to the readers.  We would love it if you could weigh in on this.  Tell us what you think.  Leave us your messages either on this blog or on our FB page, Stone Cold: A Novel.

However, there is one major obstacle for us being able to get an accurate read on this issue.  We do NOT yet have enough FB friends or blog subscribers.  You can help, by sharing this with your FB FRIENDS etc.  Ask your friends to join and enter their opinions.  This is an opportunity for them to have an influence in a new book.

OK guys, let's think...do we want lots of seductive, erotic kinky sex, or not?

SIGNING UP A STORM

Every hour for the entire day we both kept checking the weather.  The forecast had originally been for high winds and torrential rains.  This was the day of our first book signing, and the weather was most definitely not cooperating.  It appeared we would be drowned out by forces beyond our control.

We were expecting over 65 people and now if we had three, it would be a lot.
Oddly we kept bolstering each other's spirits, though Lois was nervous, she was still excited as was I.  Ever optimistic, we toodled off to Book Revue in Huntington, toting our yummy home baked treats.  We had enough to feed an army, which meant we might be eating sweets for a month.

Suddenly the gods were on our side.  The mini hurricane held off until we finished our presentation and book signing. It was an exciting and responsive crowd.  Gratefully everyone got home safely with our signed novel in tow.

What a great night!

The Book Divas & Friend

Here we are in all our glory.  What a great night!  More pics to come.

PR IS STALLING THE PROCESS, YUK!

Murder can be a laughing matter, but the PR business is not.  We are not having fun with this part of the process.  People think it's the rejection issue that bothers someone, but that isn't the case.  At least not with us.  We're finding it's learning to whom we should pitch our book and how.

Fortunately most people we've approached have been positive, but we need to expand our list.  Recently someone told us that the book would make a really exciting movie.  OK, now where do we go?  Is it a lawyer, a production company, a director?  Maybe all of the above, but which one would be more effective?   Ah, so many questions.

The best part of this process is learning new things and meeting people.  That is truly fun!   Now we're ready to move on.  While we are struggling with this PR business, our second novel, which is hugely suspenseful and based on fact, is languishing on the shelf until we can finish promoting "Stone Cold".

We welcome all ideas and of course wishes of good luck.

Longing For our Sharaz & Chocolate Cake

Boy, were we eager beavers when we sat down to work this morning.  It was a glorious, spring day in New York, and all systems were "GO"!  It is now three-thirty and sadly, all systems are "gone".  We managed to laugh a lot, and  go out for lunch, sans wine.  Oh boy, do we need a mentor!  PR is definitely not our forte.  We're beginning to think we are far more productive on rainy days with our Sharaz and chocolate cake.  Hey, at least that keeps us smiling.

It's Here!

A lot of excitement here!  A big carton was delivered today, and you know, no one can resist opening a mysterious box...neither could we.  We didn't wait long enough to drag it inside.  Right there on the door step we ripped it open.  The first thing we saw was the vibrant cover of "Stone Cold" jumping out at us.  As you can imagine, we were thrilled to see the book in print.

Now the really hard part begins.  No more messing around.  We need to publicize it like crazy.  All suggestions and assistance welcome.  Please guys help us spread our words.

HELP, HELP!

Everyone tells us we need to publicize our book on Twitter...but we don't know how.  We are feeling so dopey, that we resorted back to our chocolate cake and Sharaz!  Can someone please save us and give us a brief tutorial?
