Hello!A rare bit of blog content between podcasts now, as I’ve been doing some more guest posts to drum up more interest in my Hobson & Choi self-published crime series. On this occasion, whether by coincidence or because it’s a cunning PR strategy (I don’t actually know), they are both about the demon Social Media.
First to go up was “The Benefits and Disadvantages of Social Media to an Author” on Linda’s Bookbag. In this post, I attempt to distill everything I have learnt and observed about using social media over the years – mostly as an author, but sometimes just as a human being.
Second, I try to explain “How Do You End Up Writing A Book About Social Media?” on Emma’s Bookery. It’s a good question – I sometimes wonder myself – and I know some people act like it’s the death of dramatic tension, but I think I can justify its appeal to me. You’ll have to read it yourself to see how I did.
And those are my guest posts! Hopefully a few more of these popping up in the coming weeks as we start ramping up for the H&C4 launch – I’ve got a cover completion date in early August confirmed, so hopefully we should get the book out before the third quarter of 2016 is over. I can but dream.
And in the spirit of Social Media Strategy, obviously do not forget to follow me on Twitter. My friend Ross also has a post about essential blogging tools if you want to see someone else type about the internet.
