Keeping Your Wife (Or Significant Other) Happy...

Not an off color joke - just asking for help...

My wife is a fledgling writer, and I'm trying to build interest in her publishing her second book (self-publish, actually).

Many women read these novels (possibly men to, not being sexist here), and so mentioning it to your missus might give her a new author to read (or sister,mother, grandmother, cousin, niece, aunt,...)

The details of her 'special' offer are here:

4,500 Fans For Gwen! -- IndieGoGo

And her book website (with excerpt) is here:

http://PlantLadyMysteries.com

I'm hoping that if you know someone who enjoys mysteries, you point them to these links to build up her fan base and support.

Thanks!

By the way, I'd be happy to answer any questions here, both about IndieGogo or Createspace (the book publishing platform) - my way of saying thanks for helping her out.


(Mods: I hope this isn't inappropriate for this section, if so, please move/delete, and my apologies)

    Hi Dave.
    I read both sites, gave it a like on FB and downloaded the excerpt to read later.
    That's about the best I can do for your wife at the moment.
    As someone who has been in to Horticulture for more years then I can count, it looks like an interesting read.

      Thanks Thom - it's very much appreciated!

      Oddly enough, though her series is about a 'pant lady', there's very little about plants in the books - mostly mystery solving as she tends to plants in a mall...

        I gathered that from what I read on her site, but the horticulture hook reeled me in. Just knowing that's the 'day job' will make it that much more interesting to me. Not to mention I dig good mystery books

    Let's hope you're not Jack Spratt and "wide" isn't a freudian slip.

      It seems that no matter how much I proofread...

      Thanks very much - and feel free to tell others of the site, especially those you know who are into mysteries (strictly speaking, I think the genre is called 'cozy mysteries, but I may be wrong).
