Done both! Thanks for the information. Check out my first and recently released novel, Long Journey to Rneadal. This exciting story is a romantic action adventure in space.
Thanks, Tony - I retweeted the contest. What a great idea! My book is an awesome collection of migraine art and literature. -Betsy

Tony, since the hacking incident on Twitter yesterday, I haven't been able to access my accounts. Do know that I love being on the list but so far haven't been able to help with tweets. And I know my followers would love to know about it!

Thanks, Carolyn!
Every marketer has to deal with the unforseen and be ready to try to make lemonade, right? This may be a minor set-back, but I will look at the situation and find a way to capitalize on this Twitter shut down. Keep your eyes pealed next week.
The lesson here: Every marketer needs to understand that the unexpected happens from time to time- we have a choice to fret or find a way to use the unforeseen to our advantage as much as possible.
You have always been supportive and I never take that for granted- we'll continue to march forward and do what we can do.
Hey Tony,
Now this is a cool way to gain twitter followers and contest registrants. I retweeted.
I am still trying to figure out twitter. I have 700 followers but I am stagnant with my posts.
I have a cool new contest on my website promoting the release of my new book, Dead Ball.
I was also just invited to do a book signing along with Hank Aaron.
Keep up the great marketing campaign, bro! And feel free to send some contests over to my site for other cool prizes. Autographed balls & books and Be Named in a Sports Mystery.

Hey Michael,
Congratulations on the book and the signing with one of my heroes in baseball! I can't wait to read Dead Ball-- Reid Clark in your first book, Sudden Death, was one of my favorite characters- Can't wait to see him in Dead Ball.
Sports fans will love the prizes in your contest!
What a great contest--thanks so much!
This is great! I am trying not to drool on the keyboard as I retweet LOL
I've RT'd your message on both my twitter accounts. Prizes look great. I'm wishing myself luck!

Thanks for the opportunity. Just published my second book on Amazon - "In His Presence" a daily guide to finding joy and pleasure in God's presence - despite what comes in life. Thanks again for the opportunity!
