Looking for Influencers

       Promise of Tomorrow is a 2011 Carol Award finalist that takes place in Johnstown, PA before, during and after the horrific flood of 1889 and explores the theme that people are more important than things. Tagline: A man's pride shatters in the face of his fiancĂ©'s humility, but their love is threatened by a force beyond their control.


Promise of Yesterday is set in Greencastle, PA, 1885, and explores the subject of betrayal. The tagline for this story is: He cannot say a word, yet his silence speaks volumes to her heart. 

Promise of Time is set in Gettysburg, PA, 1865, and explores the issue of PTSD in a Civil War Confederate, and grief/recovery. The tag line is: Their love is tested across the lines drawn by a nation at war. 


Some creative ideas for being an influencer for Promise Brides:
  • Post a review on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Shelfari.com, Goodreads.com, Epinions.com, Libarything.com, and/or CBD.com.
  • Post your thoughts about the book on your blog, Facebook, or Twitter feed. Offer a giveaway to your online community.
  • Make influencing into a cool, giving game. Give the book to someone who’d like it, then say, “If you like it, would you be willing to buy another copy to pass onto a friend?” If your friend doesn’t like it, he/she can return the book to you and you can lend/give it again.
  • Lends my book to a circle of friends. The only requirement? Each person who reads the book needs to write a note about the book on an inside page. It’s one clever way to create community.
  • Start a book-sharing revolution. Register your book at www.bookcrossing.com. And then leave it somewhere! Bookcrossing will track its adventures.
  • Recommend the book to your local book club. I’m available to chat via speakerphone (or in person if it’s near me).
  • Ask your local bookstore or library to stock the book.
  • Donate your book to a local prison ministry or women’s shelter.
  • Give your book to a person of influence (pastor, ministry leader, counselor, radio host).
