Karen Marie Graham: The Promises You Keep

The Promises You Keep, introduces an exciting new fiction voice to the Oklahoma landscape. The work was published May 30, 2012. Graham is a resident of Claremore.

Abandoned, alone, and running from her past, language arts teacher Sydney Mackenzie has found a place of solitude as she tries to find healing in forgetting. She is abruptly forced to turn and face her painful past, however, when Emily enrolls in her class and turns her peaceful world upside down. Can Sydney find a way to trust herself, and trust others again, before it's too late to save her student from a similar fate? Find out, in The Promises You Keep.

When not writing she leads a whirlwind life filled with husband, children, education classes, photography and listening to her favorite music.

THREE RULES FOR BETTER MARKETING

1. Develop a vibrant blurb to describe your book to someone in a couple of sentences. If you can't do that - revisit your work. The writer unable to do this often has a problem with their book - so see how well you can define (in selling terms) your work.
2. Establish "talking points" about your book: what sets it apart? what sets you apart? why should someone buy your work?
3. "Lattice" your work to other venues and events. Do a web of your book and identify all the parts and how you might market the book to those sub-sections.

NOTE:
Not just self-publishing authors are faced with the need to become better at marketing their own work - surveying the recent edition of WRITER'S MARKET shows even some "big name" houses are expecting their authors to be their own best promoters.
