Greetings from rainy California! With Valentine’s Day around the bend, it’s the perfect time to feature Pamela S. Meyers, author of contemporary and historical romances! I’ve met Pam at the American Christian Fiction Writers conference, and she’s delightful. She’s full of creative promotional ideas, so read on! How many books do you have published?

Five titles altogether, including Love Finds You in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (my hometown), What Lies Ahead, a novella in a four-author novella collection called The Bucket List Dare, and my newest one, Second Chance Love.

Hi everyone! Pamela S. Meyers here with my monthly post about marketing your books. I feel like I’ve been in the school of hard knocks for most of the summer as I’ve worked steadily on marketing my book “in the field.” I’ve seen some really great results and some not-so-great. But that’s okay. I’m learning. Earlier this summer a marketing book by Rob Eager called Sell Your Book like Wildfire was recommended to me. It’s been sitting on my shelf for at least four months now. High time I opened it! Last week I read the first chapter and…
Marketing Lessons Learned in the Middle of a Boat Ride
Pamela S. Meyers here with another post about book marketing. Since last March I’ve been on a promotion blitz for my April 1 release, Love Finds You in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, a historical romance set in one of the most beautiful vacation spots in Wisconsin.

Tips From the Pros: Pamela S. Meyers
Davalynn Spencer here from Colorado, pleased to introduce new author Pamela S. Meyers. Welcome, Pamela. Tell us a little about your journey to becoming an author. Although I’d always felt a need to write things down—I asked for and received a diary when I was eight—I never took the idea of writing for income seriously until my writing professor where I returned to college to get my degree encouraged me to do so. I started with articles but quickly gravitated to fiction. Then I joined ACFW, got connected to crit groups, and attended writers’ conferences, honing my craft and submitting…
