The Magic Battery: How you can help

Getting out a self-published novel is a team effort. If you’ve read it and liked it, or if you’d just like to help me out, we can be on the same team. The goal is to reach out to the people who’d enjoy the book if they knew about it. They’re people who like thoughtful fantasy, alternate history, and the exploration of ideas. People who are very likely like you, if you’re reading this. (Rule #1 of publicity: Flattery gets you everywhere. :)

What can you do? You can mention the book in your blog or social media, linking to the Magic Battery page. You can follow and share the book’s Facebook page. Feel free to mention coupon codes unless I’ve asked you to keep them private. The sharable code RW83R gives a dollar off on Smashwords through the end of June 2020.

Add the book to your library list on LibraryThing, Goodreads, or similar sites.

Best of all, you can review the book. I like favorable reviews, but say what you like. Tell your readers why they may like the book.

If you have ideas for promoting the book, let me know. I’m looking for someone to read a sample aloud to put up on YouTube. (My own reading voice is terrible.) If you could do it or know someone who can, let me know.

And a huge THANK YOU for whatever help you can provide.
