Thought I would give you a little update on my efforts at promotion using 21st century technology. I have been very busy since Wednesday, not only writing The Present, but out there promoting my works. And I am very proud to announce that I now have author pages on Goodreads, Amazon, AND Facebook!
Yes, I bit the bullet and made an author page where you are all invited to “like” me. (That sounds so strange, like when I try to use slang terms around my kids and they burst out laughing.) My blog is even connected to Facebook! When I get going, I’m on a roll. I intend to start posting short pieces, updates on my work, pictures, and anything else I think might be interesting about me and my work on the author page.
The Amazon page has been extremely helpful in getting me to understand their rating system. It’s updated every hour, 24/7 so if you’re really dedicated you can check it 24 times a day to track how you’re doing in sales. It graphs the information for you and gives an explanation about how it works. From what I can tell, Heart of Deception drops lower more frequently than Hog Wild (the goal, as in golf, is to score as low as possible). Which in the long run means that HOD is selling better. So if anyone wants to help out my numbers, and read a fun contemporary erotic, you can pick up a copy of Hog Wild at Amazon now. If that’s not quite to your taste, aww shucks, it won’t hurt my feelings if you get Heart of Desire instead. LOL
The only social media I have not joined yet is Twitter, but my goal is to sign up sometime this weekend. So hopefully I’ll be tweeting by Monday!
That’s it for this update. Please drop by Sunday for Six Sentence Sunday. I’m posting another six from my soon to be revised historical WIP As Long As You’re Mine. Hope to see you there–and on Facebook!
You can also purchase Hog Wild at New Dawning Bookfair and Heart of Deception at Books to Go Now! Just click on the cover and enjoy!
Jenna Jaxon Romance--because passion is timeless. 
I’ve been writing for publication since 1993, and only this week did I put up a Facebook author page. That’s all well-and-good, but now the trick is driving people to see it. I hope you have good luck with that, Jenna. You write more accessible stuff than I do, so I’ll bet you’ll pop right to the top!

From your keyboard to everyone’s ears, Trish! LOL The next step is to research how to make that happen. And I’m sure there are people out there who have been successful and are willing to talk about it. And of course I’ll pass on what I learn, so everybody wins.

I’m learning just from you doing it, Jenna! As soon as I’m published I’m going to be looking at your posts and giving you a shout so you can help me with all this media stuff 🙂

Shout at me anytime, Jennifer! I still consider myself a newbie, but what I learn I am more than happy to pass on. Glad to see your blog’s doing well. Gonna look for you tomorrow on Six Sentence Sunday! 🙂

Social media is a time suck. Ah, the wonderful world of authors!
Captive, my Books to Go Now short, is selling so much better than my longer novella. I think I might have to get crackin’ on more shorts if that stays the case!

Isn’t it strange how these things fluctuate? I thought people would have gone, well…hog wild over Hog Wild, but it ain’t necessarily so. Good luck with Through the Rabbit Hole!
