Welcome to my virtual book launch! It is such a thrill to get to this point. A huge “thank you” to my friends and family for the awesome support along the way! I invite you to raise a glass with me in a virtual celebration.
Check out the fun stuff below, and feel free to reach out via my contact form. It’s a great way to let me know if you would like me to join your book club via Zoom, if you want to send a photo for my upcoming picture wall (see below!) or if you want to stay in the loop for my next book launch.
Launch Activities
Thanks for checking out my launch activities. I’m happy to report that Somewhere in Minnesota is now available in paperback and on Kindle, and will soon be on Audible. Here are the launch day and post-launch day activities to check out!
- Check out a book teaser, book club questions and more on the Somewhere in Minnesota page of my site.
- To buy the book, you can find it at any of the following:
- Amazon.com (Note: That’s Amazon U.S. It is also available at international Amazon sites.)
- Kirk House Publishers
- Barnes & Noble
- Check out the Somewhere in Minnesota scavenger hunt for a chance to win a Somewhere in Minnesota t-shirt. This is a virtual scavenger hunt that gives you things to find as you read the short stories. Once you complete the scavenger hunt, you’ll be entered in my drawing for a t-shirt sporting the Somewhere in Minnesota design! (See the preview below.)
- Share this post to your social media with the hashtags #SomewhereInMinnesota and #SomewhereInMN.
- Recommend the book to a friend, your book club or favorite indie bookstore by tagging them or sharing this post.
Of course it’s just the beginning. Next up? The scavenger hunt, book reviews, book club engagements, and more.
Post-Launch
Here are some awesome things to do after the launch:
- Read the book (of course)!
- Complete the scavenger hunt and submit the results to be entered into the t-shirt drawing.
- If you loved the book, I would be delighted if you would write a brief review on any of these sites:
- For another entry in the monthly t-shirt drawing, take a picture of yourself with the book and either share it on your social media and tag me (plus #SomewhereInMinnesota, or upload it via this contact form if you would like me to add it to the picture wall on my website (currently under construction)! Be sure to let me know if your picture was taken in Minnesota. For fun, take a picture of yourself with a notable landmark, wherever you are in the world.
- Use the contact form to invite me to your book club via Zoom — or in person if located in the Minnesota Twin Cities.
- Ask about the book in your favorite indie bookstore. If they don’t have it, be sure to hint that it would be great if they carried it in their store. (They can find it on Ingram, the wholesale site for booksellers.)
Happy reading! Oh, and here’s a look at the t-shirt!
