Hey all,
So I’ve decided to try out this ThunderClap thing. I ran across it a few months ago, and since then, I’ve seen it used by a few different authors. I’m not sure about its effectiveness, but I understand the basis of it. What happens is that people sign up, by which I mean that they agree to either Facebook post or Tweet or Tumbler the person’s message on they day they want it shared. By sharing it in mass, it is visible to more people and gets more exposure in a concentrated time frame. Once you agree to share, the share happens automatically on the day of. I figured the next sale of Otherworlders would be the perfect time to try a thunderclap.
The only downside I’ve seen so far is that if you don’t want to pay for the service, then you have to amass at least 100 supporters. That said, if you could support the campaign, I’d really appreciate your help!
Thanks!!

Just visited ThunderClap – you have my support on Twitter and Tumblr. (Facebook is a no-go for me, sorry).
Good luck, Angela!

I signed up for my support on facebook and twitter, but I neither have nor want a tumblr acct., or any more social media accounts at all! I noticed you only have 18 supporters out of the 100 needed by July 22nd. If you asked the great people on the BOD group, I bet you could get close or over your 100 followers needed. I sure don’t mind helping Indy authors by doing this kind of stuff, and many of them probably need help like this themselves that we could help out as well. Anyway, it was just a thought. I REALLY want you to succeed so you never stop writing. I am not a short story fan at all, but look forward to your next book in the otherworlders, and even new novels! Any idea when book 2 will out for The Otherworlders?

Thanks for the support, both for the Thunderclap and for my writing 🙂 posting in BoD is a great idea. Not sure when the next Otherworlders will be out. I’ve had some deadline/release setbacks this year, but I’m still working on everything.
