A Sunny Tomorrow by Author, Theresa Franklin, is a collection of delightful short stories written for young children. This endearing collection has nineteen short stories in all. Each story deals with a different subject. The author truly captures the heart and mind of the child in each story. Additionally, this author is known for identifying with children’s feelings within each subject and especially when dealing with difficult subjects such as divorce, adoption, having a parent with special needs or dealing with the loss of a parent.

Included in this entertaining collection are more humorous stories that deal with much lighter subjects such as grandmas, tasting something to eat before you decide you don’t like it and how a lovely blue flower called a bluebonnet grows or how to be superhero. Each story is entertaining and enchanting for children of young ages to sit and listen to. I found myself chuckling at some of the tales, as the author really knows how a kid thinks. My six year old was quite enchanted and kept saying, “That’s true, that’s what I think.”

Other thoughtful writings are written for comfort, such as Sometimes You Need a Shoulder and Mommy Doesn’t Cry Anymore or Daddy, I’m Scared. Other stories included are simply written for humor and entertainment, like Jolene the Pig or Brent and Dad Go Fishing. No matter which story you choose, you can be sure your children will be thoroughly entertained and will be asking you to read more and more.

“A Delightful Read”

Christian Book Marketing Ideas

Here are some basic must do's that I recommend to all authors with regards to marketing their books, both Christian and secular.

1st: You must have a Authors Website or blog that showcases you as a author, your book, that shares about your book, where and how to order it and how to contact you as author.

2nd: You must have a professional book review service review your book and write a professional book review. Here is a hint, make sure that you use a Christian Book Review service and not a secular book review service.

3rd: You must create a online presence so that book lovers can find you and your book. This is where your authors website or blog comes into play, however, you must market your site also. While you can perform some of the marketing yourself by joining various author book related sites, you must also set a budget aside for a book marketing campaign.

4th: Authors business cards and book markers are another great marketing tool. Be sure to place your book title, ISBN number, and website address on them along with other information. I recomend starting with Vista Print.

5th: Creating and marketing. Let me say that again. Creating and MARKETING a book trailer that showcases your book in another powerful way to promote and market your book.

6th: You must pursue book signings at local bookstores, churches and wherever God may open doors for you. I also recommend that you study up on how to put on a great book signing and one that is designed to attract book lovers while also impressing the bookstore management at the same time. A well planed successful book signing event can open further doors for additional book signing events.

7th and most important. Do your homework before you put your plans into motion.

Author Promotions Using The Internet

In this economy many authors are choosing the self promoting route. While most author promotions and book marketing experts don't recommend this, there's no doubt that there has been a increase in the self promoting author and especially those that have self published. If that's you, I encourage you to take the time and do your homework before jumping into the marketing arena. While it may seem easy, one soon finds out that it's not, few find success and it's very time consuming.

Yes you can build your own blog, but the question is do you know how to build and launch a successful blog and do you have the time to learn the process and everything surrounding that process? Yes you can join various author sites, interact with other authors, share your book, book cover and so on. However, are other authors your market? Yes there are some great authors forums out there, however, and once again is that where book lovers hang out or authors? Then there's the Internet, the search engines, key words, labels, how the search engines work and many other things to consider coupled with the fact that they are constantly changing and evolving.

My point being while all these things can be fun and a part of building a network while creating book buzz, they are and should be seen as secondary to a well thought out authors promotions and book marketing plan. Here is a simple author promotions and book marketing plan for the new and self published author. Let's call it class 101 for authors.

1) Have a professional authors web site built.

2) Get your own .com that fits your book and marketing plan.

3) Have someone with the knowledge build or help you build and launch a professional blog.

4) Create a network that promotes you, your book, your web site and your blog that markets and promotes you as a author and your book not to other authors, but to book lovers within your market and buying audience.

5) Understand that you will not become a overnight success, that it takes hard work and time.

That's simple, now get started.

Author Media Site Promotions & Book Marketing

Authors & Writers Expand Into New Horizons

Expanding your online marketing can definitely increase your chances of book sales plus create a online presence for you as a author. Target marketing is very important. Many authors find themselves joining author communities, however consider this. Most authors write and publish books and only purchase some selected writings.

The key to expanding your marketing is choosing your market.

If you are a Christian Author, you want to market your book to other Christians. If you wrote a book about cars, you want to marketing your book to car lovers. If you wrote a book about health, you want to market your book where people are into health.

While associating with other authors, sharing information and getting input from other authors is very helpful, that is not how a author wants to market his or her books and is not priority marketing target.

You must think author media site marketing and the language of book marketing.

A Author Must Think Marketing

If you've published a book with a POD publisher, half the work is done. Now you have to market your books and that is just as important as writing and publishing a book.

Maybe you've paid for the 25,000 online bookstore promotion package. OK, cool your in the data base, along with millions of other author's and books. Maybe you've paid for the national and international promotions package. That's great, now your again among the millions and millions of online books.

Have you Googled your books title, or maybe your name and found that your book is found on the search engines? That's great, however in all honesty does anyone other than you, your publisher and a few friends know the name of your book or who you are? Let's be honest, if your a first time author or a unknown author, who's going to search for your book by it's title or your name as the author?

As a author, you must market yourself and your book. That's where having a author media site becomes your starting point. You can showcase your book, a description of your book, your author description, some interesting things about yourself, share important links and share your contact information and where and how book lovers can order your book.

Provided that you can order your books from your publisher at a author's discount. Then you can sell them right from you're authors site and the profits by far exceed royalties.

Your author's media site becomes your online worldwide business card. It is where people can find you, read about your book, you as the author, about local book signings and whatever other interesting information and content you provide. Without your own personal website, or authors blog, your just another book and author among the millions and millions found online.

Some author's join every book club they can find, sign every guest book they can and join other author communities hoping that this will bring book sales. However, in the end, this usually proves to be a lot of work with very little results.
