Here’s What’s New & Some Videos

It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update outside of an IWSG post but I thought I should so I don’t crowd my next post too much.

  1. I’m making an effort to do more promoting, networking, and advocating in my local area. I’ll be adding my appearances and other events to my contact page for those interested, but this information will also be listed on my Facebook page.
  2. I have short fiction and nonfiction featured in anthologies that are free to the public. Links to these can be found on my page Toi’s Shorts or on the side panel of this blog.
  3. I’m really trying to do better with social media, but it’s a struggle. While I have presences on Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr, and Pinterest, I’ve decided to mostly dedicate my time to
    1. Instagram @toithomasauthor 
    2. Facebook @ToiThomasAuthor, and
    3. YouTube Toi Thomas & Carnie the Bookworm.
    4. I’m also active on Goodreads but I’m not sure if that really counts. I’d love to follow and or be friends with anyone willing on any of these platforms.
  4. Now, here are two videos I’ve posted recently.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

Promotion

#PrimeDay2017; yeah, I didn’t see that coming either.

So, this has been an affiliate blog for some time now. I don’t go out of my way to sell things to people or push products on them. That’s just not who I am. With Prime Day coming up, tomorrow July 11 (sales already started though), I thought I’d share a few of the promotional deals that I’m actually interested in pursuing, especially since I’m a Prime member and haven’t really used any of the special features other than the shipping.

First, if you’d like to try Prime, they have a FREE TRIAL you can sign up for.

Second, I might be addicted to subscription services. I blame it all on Netflix. Once I discovered I could get certain ebooks through Prime for free it got me thinking about a Kindle Unlimited account. Now might be the time to jump on that.

Third, I’ve had several issues with Audible over the years (I’d rather not go over it all now). Needless to say, I haven’t had a subscription in over 2 years, but this new offer has me tempted to give it another try.

Of course, there are all kinds of other promotions going on, but these are the ones that interest me ’cause, well, they’re about books. 😉

Not that this has anything to do with Prime Day, but all my ebooks are on sale today, July 10 – 12, 2017 from $0 – $1.99 (starting 8am PST). I recently had to raise the prices on my print books because of improved interior formatting, so I felt this was a good time to put a spotlight on my ebooks. I have 10 books ranging from fiction to nonfiction, children’s to clean adult, and more.

Facebook event for anyone interested. Open-door.

Lastly, International Authors Day is July 14. Be sure to head to social media and give a shout out to an author who’s entertained you. #IntlAuthorsDay

Yay! I exceeded my 2016 Reading Challenge! #books #ebooks

This isn’t all people. There’s so much more to this. If you want to see it all, please click the image to visit Goodreads. This is pretty cool to me. I’m actually proud of what I’ve accomplished this year, even if I did read a lot of short stuff. It’s hard trying to find time to read, write, and go to work every day.

I think I’ll keep the same challenge next year. 24 books a year is a good goal for me.
