Yours Truly, Morgan Mandel

Sorry I can't blog too much today. Still working on migrating files from my old computer to the new one. I do have Authorfest photos to share with you. It was a great experience mingling with many authors and readers. Denise Fleischer did a terrific organizing job. Thanks also go to Sue Gibberman of the Schaumburg Township District Library and Sue Petersen of Brain Snacks, the official bookseller at Authorfest.

Hope to see some of you there next year!

CROSS PROMOTION By Morgan Mandel

I'm at it again with the cross promotion. While on vacation, I took a video of the Blessing of the Animals in Woodruff, WI. Some of the stars of the video were my own dog, Rascal, along with Muffin and Stewart. A big hit was Dawson, the horse, who hammed it up while getting blessed.

Here's the youtube.com link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0QXRde-FOI
If it doesn't work, go to youtube.com and do a search for morganmandel (one word) It will be the top video.

The animals are cute, some noisy, but what do they have to do with my present novel, Two Wrongs, a mystery, or Girl of my Dreams, my upcoming romantic comedy?

Not much, but I did add the video to my collection on youtube. Anyone interested in seeing the video might just be interested enough to look at my other works there, including book trailers for both books, plus videos of other authors at Authorfest and Love is Murder.

Cross promotion is a fun thing. It's a good way to get your message across without slamming it into your audience's face. Try it, you'll like it.
