Self published authors are usually pretty much on their own when it comes to promoting their work, so when the opportunity comes along, naturally we will snag it! 😉 I’ve been lucky recently to have some people interested in me and my work, and they certainly do deserve a mention here.
First there’s Carrie Slager, who not only gave Puppet Parade a lovely 4.5 star review, but also took the time to interview me and host a giveaway on her site! If you would like to win one of two free copies of the book, do head over to Carrie’s site and answer the question I posted there. The two most creative answers will win!
An excerpt from the review:
The world of Puppet Parade is a refreshing break from all of the high fantasy I’ve read lately. Yes, it is fantasy, but it really doesn’t stick to any of the traditional fantasy tropes and clichés.
A question from the interview:
Who was your favourite character in Puppet Parade and why? Which one is most like you?
Next there’s Georgina Hannan, who offered to do a profile on me and my book on her blog. Georgina has a feature called “Author Profile”, and if you would like to partake in it, I’m sure she’d love to hear from you!
An excerpt from the post:
3. Where were you when you first come up with this story idea?
I don’t remember really… probably my house? It could’ve been in the bathroom. For some reason I always get my ideas in there, haha.
That should be all. I hope you’re having a good day! I thought I was going to be cranky today because my laptop gave me the Blue Screen of Death yesterday and wouldn’t work, but today I was made happy by a lovely package from my fiancé in the mail. But more on that later. 😀

Nothing wrong with a little self-promotion! Congrats on the exposure. That’s awesome!
Thank you, Britt. =D
Sure thing! : )
Exactly and I am pleased I can help the other great authors and artists to promote themselves and their work 🙂
You were great. Thanks again for the opportunity. =D
Not a problem at all 🙂
Well done, Zen. There is nothing wrong with self-promotion! Love it 🙂
I can’t wait to hear about the package 😀
Thank you, Dianne. =D
And I will post about it soon… provided my laptop cooperates with me, haha.
Hi Zen! I’m making progress with writing, so I’m trying to do a little catch up. I just read your interview. It was great. I enjoyed your answers. You know you’re on my reading list for this winter!
I just saw that you did catch up. Well done! And thank you. =D I can’t wait to hear what you think of the book.
