 Writers in the Sky Podcast and Blog
• Friday's Podcast Will Focus on the Threat of a Charismatic Leader
by write_on_yvonne@comcast.net (Yvonne Perry Writers in the Sky Creative Writing Services)
22 Feb 2010 at 6:00am
var addthis_pub="writersinthesky";We hope you will make plans to tune into the Writers in the Sky podcast this Friday when our guest will be writer Barbara Fifield. Barbara will be discussing her new release, Lucifer Rising, with WITS author's assistant Sarah Moore.
In Lucifer Rising, reporter Elsa Eldridge is assigned a story on a local cult leader named Tyrell. However, she did not suspect that she would soon fall under the spell of this charismatic man. She begins a relationship with Tyrell and once she realizes how dangerous he truly is, it may be too late. Throughout the book, Fifield examines the draw of controversial religious figures and the suspectibility that women in particular have to such men while integrating several well-researched aspects of the supernatural.
Barbara Fifield brings extensive writing experience to Lucifer Rising, including a previously published novel and many years as a journalist.

• What is Article Marketing?
by write_on_yvonne@comcast.net (Yvonne Perry Writers in the Sky Creative Writing Services)
23 Feb 2010 at 4:00am
There are many online article directories where people look for material they can use in their newsletters and on their blogs and Web sites. They may as well find yours!
When people pick up your article, they are required to post the resource box along with it when they use it on their site or in their newsletter. This increases your exposure to more people than you would meet in a lifetime and it gives you links back to your blog or Web site. Naturally, a good resource box with a link is going to be important so write one that entices people to visit your blog or Web site where you can continue to network with them.
Your resource box needs to have your contact information and give your name, Web site or blog URL, and may give a call to take action (such as “call xxx or go to xxx for more info”). Some type of freebie can be presented to entice the reader to click and visit your blog or Web site. Here is an example of one I have used:

• The Tradeoff: Giving vs. Selling
by write_on_yvonne@comcast.net (Yvonne Perry Writers in the Sky Creative Writing Services)
25 Feb 2010 at 4:00am
Of all the great tools for helping authors promote their books online, I would say social networking is number one for me. I’m referring to sites like Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, Ning, Yahoo groups, and such online places where people share friendship and information.
I hate selling anything but I love sharing what I know and I enjoy interacting with people. I’m not sure that makes me an expert on any particular topic, but it does bring great response to whatever I’m promoting. After all, the only reason I’m promoting a book or offering author publicity service is because I have something valuable to share but I can’t afford to give away my time.
I’m always researching and learning, asking questions, and gathering information. I create books and e-books as a way of dispersing some of the knowledge I have acquired. For example, my e-book Book Marketing in the Digital Age Online Promotion Made Easy is a compilation of the material I crammed into an hour-long lecture I gave at Nashville Writers Meetup Group and everything I presented in a three-hour intensive workshop at the Tennessee Writers Alliance 3rd Annual Conference; plus it includes the resea...

• Speaking for the Downriver Town Hall Lecture Series
by write_on_yvonne@comcast.net (Yvonne Perry Writers in the Sky Creative Writing Services)
2 Mar 2010 at 4:00am
By Pierette Domenica Simpson
On February 10, I received a call from my agent asking if I could fill in for Anne Thompson of NBC News. The event was to take place the next day, but thousands of flights had already been canceled due to the snowstorm and Anne could not travel from New York.
This was one of those moments that I had to be strong and not dwell on what ifs—even if I had never spoken to a crowd of 600 people before! I answered affirmatively, saying I was glad to be available and to help out The Downriver Town Hall Lecture Series (Southgate, Michigan). They have a long-standing reputation for doing a great job by pulling in well-known speakers. I figured, even if I didn’t live up to Ms. Thompson’s standards, they would still appreciate me for doing them a favor.
Pulling up to the Crystal Gardens Banquet Center was a surreal experience: my name was flashing on the huge neon sign in a hot pink on Fort Road. I almost put my brakes on! Then, as I was carting in boxes of books into the lobby, a lovely elderly lady said, “I know this is going to be a great program! I remember when the Andrea Doria sank.” She didn’t know it, but she broke the ice fo... ( cont'd )
