Publicize my book, "Somewhere in the Middle of Love"

the Perfect Literary Agent~

Today I e-mailed Cheryl Richardson. She has a store for Gifts that Nourish the Soul. I believe my book fits that category. I e-mailed her a copy of my poem, With New Eyes and a link to my google page. I saw her on Oprah this week, discussing The Law of Attraction. It was a fantastic show- anything that reminds us of just how powerful we are, is!

In case you haven’t read any of my poems, here is my current favorite ;)

With New Eyes

Dear Lord, sometimes I hide in a sleeping disguise
But today I pray to see with new eyes
New eyes to see the sun at dawn
New eyes as I stretch and stand and yawn
New eyes as I step out of bed, thanking You for the day which lies ahead
New Eyes as my eyes meet and greet Your children, passersby on the street

May the contact we make, include a smile, felt deep within Connected by spirit
Our intent being to heal and mend
Let the meeting of our eyes and the feelings deep within add a light to the world, a flicker growing glow

May that light show us a path, get our energies to flow, higher and lighter, releasing, and renewed
And the actions that follow be of good intent, reflecting more of You
And as my eyes see and my heart feels and my intentions turn toward You
Please help me remember, embrace hope and surrender the burdens
that would make me feel blue

And as I wake with new vision and vigor, may the words I speak and the response they trigger be of love and light, that wakes us all and puts into flight…A dream world with a peaceful landscape, where babies and children and adults can escape…from the one with old eyes and closed eyes and dark hearts and destructive parts, led by ego and I could go on and on
But I can also stay focused on goodness, I know this

May we remain open to the changes needed within
May we be open, may we be free, may we spread peace and harmony
May there be space for joy and laughter, springboard for a cycle
which produces the desire to think again, and feel again,
and see with new eyes our world again~

Today I mailed copies of my book to Oprah and her best friend Gail… I also wrote a letter to a literary agent, Denise Stinson, who has a number of positive affiliations. I love Google, I was able to see a synopsis of her work instantly. Thanks for dropping her name, L.B.

I had my first Book signing of sorts. My teacher’s union had a Christmas Bazaar and I purchased a table and sold books. Many family and friends came out to support me… there were a few teachers who purchased a copy after perusing the pages. In addition, I received a couple other invitations to share my book with others in both the near and distant future. It was a great day~

I ran into the former counselor for my elementary school. She happened to be with her daughter who is the principal at a local private school. We were catching up and I mentioned that I just released my first book- which she’d heard ;) Her daughter is inviting me to speak to her parent group in January and have a book-signing! Exciting~

(1) I’ll put in request for my surrounding libraries to purchase it. I’ll also find out from one of my favorite librarians how to get other libraries to purchase it.

(2) Advertising in Phenomenews which is a popular newsprint among people in and around the city

(3) Seeing what my former Universities can do to to spread the news among my alumni

and

(4) Mailing out the balance of the postcards from my marketing kit
for starters~
