Could be!
Who knows?
There’s something due any day;
I will know right away,
Soon as it shows.*
I’m thrilled to report that Book●ed will debut its weekly half-hour video webcast on July 8th!
You’ve waited patiently. Now come the rewards. Every Monday, starting July 8th, Book●ed will present a lively new book review with an author or editor interview. From the moment the show is first broadcast, it will be available 24/7 from any computer with internet access. After one week as the featured show, it will remain available in our Archives. You’ll be able to find our shows at several websites, including (my favorite, of course) www.bookedwebcast.com and www.fenmark.net; also via UStream.
The Book●ed website will also debut a Book Excerpts page where you can find every book we’ve reviewed, easy to locate by the book’s cover, air date, title or author. Each excerpt will include a “Buy The Book Now” link, among other user-friendly features. You can go from watching an interview to reading an excerpt, or vice versa, then buy the book — all through the Book●ed website.
Book●ed is an innovative concept. Our marriage of new technologies with proven PR techniques is attracting great authors with noteworthy books that we present to booklovers around the world. The authors I interview have fascinating back stories that enhance the reading of their books.
As I writer, I know it is easier than ever to get books published but harder than ever to get read. Many worthwhile books get lost in a vast universe of 350,000 new titles annually. As a former award-winning public relations pro, I know how to build awareness among target audiences. As a booklover, I’m thrilled to find shining stars in the book universe and bring them to you.
Starting next week, this blog will feature details about upcoming shows.
Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something’s coming, something good,
Come on, something, come on in, don’t be shy,
Pull up a chair!
The air is humming,
And something great is coming! *
