Book my blast. Have a laugh. Enter to win! #bloggerswanted

Hello Blog World,

I’m putting together a very impromptu book blast for my Eternal Curse sequel, Eternal Curse: Battleground, from April 13 through April 17…but I’m doing things a little different.

For this blast I will not be featuring excerpts, interviews, or character profiles. Instead, I’ve put together a little You Tube miniseries starring a cute little dog to help build buzz, interest, and sales for this book. It should be a lot of fun and I’m hoping you’ll help me spread the word.

But wait, there’s more. As I mentioned in the title of this post, there is a giveaway involved. I’m offering a special and separate prize pack for any blogger who agrees to post the video/book blast to their blog. This blast will not only offer your subscribers some new, different, and entertaining content, it will also give you a chance to win my prize and more.

The giveaway, open worldwide, will consist of:
– one $25 Amazon gift card (USD)

Each blogger who agrees to post the video/book blast to their blog will receive:
– a free digital copy of either EC: Giovanni’s Angel or EC: BATTLEGROUND
– and 3 free “blogger only” entries into the big giveaway

On top of all that, participation is easy peasy. You sign-up here for a specific day, copy the code to your blog (you may alter as needed), and post. That’s it.

Interested? Don’t be shy.
Join the fun, tell a friend or two, and let the good times roll!

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

#IWSG March 2015: Interviews & Anticipation #bloggerswanted

I don’t know how encouraging this will be to anyone who happens to be reading it, but I’d like to have a conversation with you. Really, whoever you are, I want to get to know you. It seems that no matter how hard I try I just can’t seem to really connect to those around me and in the blogosphere it’s even harder. I’m not sure if people, or other authors, think I have something up my sleeve, but no one seems to believe me when I say I want to get to know them.

I’m not going to lie and pretend that I’m the perfect pen pal or virtual friend you’re ever going to find, but I do like connecting with people, even if I’m not that good at staying connected. Being an introvert is only a small part of it. What can I say, I have issues, but that doesn’t make me a bad person. I want to get know people, especially other bloggers so I can learn from them, but my problem may be that I don’t have much to offer in return.

While I love to interview people, they may not want to be bothered with the whole process knowing that my post isn’t likely going to garner them a 1000 new followers or fans. I’m small time, but I like it here at The ToiBox of Words and think others would too if they simply gave it a chance.

I’ve pretty much given up on the idea of video interviewing authors and bloggers. I guess I missed the memo that said talking in front of a web cam was a mortal sin. What kind of introvert am I anyway? Why would an introvert have a You Tube channel? I guess deep down, I know it doesn’t bother me because my following is so small and filled with people, to which, I feel pretty confident in calling friends.

In any case, I’m making efforts to reach out and interview some new authors and even some book bloggers just because I’d like to get to know them. We’ll see if any of them say yes.

On a completely different note, I’m trying to walk by faith and believe that I’ll be able to release my sequel, Eternal Curse: Battleground by May of this year, but I feel like I’m battling a giant in the process. We’ll see what happens.

Would any of you like to be interviewed?
Why are people so camera-shy?
Are you working on a book or other release? I’d love to hear about it.
