I promised I'd keep you updated on what I decided to do. I appreciate all of your support and suggestions. A few of you PM'ed me and gave me some very needed advice. I appreciate that.

Next week, I'll contact the two local bookstores and set up author signing dates. I'm anxious to get those going. The reason I'm waiting, one told me to contact them in the middle of September, and the other one just opened in August, and I wanted to give them time to get adjusted.

Earlier, I discussed what my publisher, Kevin had suggested, three things, morning talk show interviews, doing blogs, and doing YouTube shorts and some videos.

Yesterday, we talked or bantered for over two hours. Sometimes I wonder why he puts up with me or me him. LOL Finally, I agreed to do the YouTube shorts and videos. The shorts will be about one - two minutes. The videos longer. His team will do the graphics and all I have to do is agree with the graphics and the message going with them. I can handle that. He promises in no time at all I'll be monetized. Not so sure myself. I'm also not sure how this will relate to more book sales. We'll see.

I'm still not agreeing to the other two. I did get a lengthy lecture about how my readers want to know about me and I will need to put myself out there. I agreed to eventually do that but need more time to work up to it.
