Book promotion!

One of the (many) things I fret about is that I'm not doing enough to promote my books. Some writers seem like they're born for publicity, while others are pretty shy about tooting their own horns. I'm a shy tooter, so promotional activities are a challenge. But the cool thing is that sometimes it's possible to get someone else to do my tooting for me.

I co-wrote a book with my aunt, the psychic advisor Louise Helene. It's called I SAW YOUR FUTURE AND HE'S NOT IT, and it's full of love and relationship advice taken from the consultations my aunt has had with her clients. The book is funny and entertaining and offers excellent advice. And I'm not just tooting here.

Well, Louise Helene has been invited to be a guest on a few upcoming radio shows where she'll be talking about the book and maybe taking calls from listeners who have love and relationship questions. Following is a list of the upcoming shows. I hope you can stop by and listen. You'll definitely enjoy yourself and you might pick up some ideas for improving your love life.

- Guest on local Canadian radio show Passion on CJAD-AM in Montreal. It's scheduled for April 18th from 9:30 - 10:00 p.m. Central/10:30-11:00 p.m. Eastern.
- Guest on online radio show The Psychic Partners on May 13th from 5:30-6:00 p.m. Central/6:30-7:00 p.m. Eastern.
- Guest on online radio show Mystical Cruise Ship on Friday June 21 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. Central/8:00-9:00 p.m. Eastern.

I Saw Your Future

Terrific news: I have a contract with Llewellyn Publishing to release my first nonfiction book for adults! I Saw Your Future and He's Not It: A Psychic's Guide to True Love was co-written with my aunt, psychic advisor Louise Helene. For more than 30 years, she's consulted with clients around the world, particularly talking to women about love and relationship problems.

You might be thinking, "But, Kim, you write young adult fiction. What's with the nonfiction book for adults?" Well, the fact is that I'm a sucker for a good story, and this book is full of fascinating ones that my aunt has heard from her clients over the years. Some are hilarious, some heart-breaking, and some will just make you say "aaawww". This book has something for everyone, whether you're in a relationship or not, and whether you're into supernatural phenomena or not. It's entertaining, lively, and informative. You'll love it!

Our publisher is working on cover art for I Saw Your Future and He's Not It right now, and I'll post it here as soon as it's ready. The book will be available for pre-sale at Llewellyn Publishing's website and at booksellers starting in July or August. It will be released January 8, 2013, just in time for Valentine's Day.

My aunt and I really enjoyed the opportunity to work together on writing the book, and now we're looking forward to the fun of promoting it. I'm even sharpening my book-signing pen. Sadly, pens aren't supposed to be sharpened, so now I've got ink all over my fingers. OK, I'm going to sign off and wash my hands.

Happy publishing!

New Project

Do you ever get yourself involved in a totally unexpected project, then have it turn out to be more fun than you ever guessed? Well, lately I've been helping my aunt write a manuscript about her experiences working as a psychic, and it's a blast!

This is totally different from the stuff I usually write. It's kind of a memoir/self-help manuscript, which I've never done before. I'm more used to fiction, or even straight nonfiction like the books I wrote about Yugoslavia and Libya.

For this book, my aunt is sharing lots of stories about the years she's spent consulting with clients and how she learned her craft as a psychic advisor. Instead of telling one long story, like with a novel, in this manuscript we're telling a bunch of shorter stories. It's a different process, but it's also really fun. It's also fun to collaborate with a partner on a writing project like this. And the added bonus, of course, is that I get to spend time with my aunt who's hilarious.

It'll take us some time to finish this manuscript, but when we do, I can't wait to share it with the world. Stay tuned for details!
