Marketing with Mandy~Ann Wesley Hardin
Q: Tell us a little about your experience with Ellora’s Cave
A: How long can I gush? This is a publishing company who’s books fly off the shelves, who pays their authors twice a month, one that’s growing in leaps and bounds, breaking into foreign markets and quite simply charting their own course in the publishing world. But most of all, it’s a publisher that respects authors.
Q: What tips/tricks do you use for marketing or promoting your own titles?
A: I have your standard website and blog. I also advertise on select websites such as this one 
Q: What is one thing you’d want to tell a newer author, just coming into the game?
A: Try not to get overwhelmed by all the marketing avenues available. Just because everyone seems to be doing it, doesn’t mean you have to. Let the information sit awhile and choose what’s best for you. A lot of opportunities are free. Choose those first and see what works.
Q: Could you tell us a bit about your latest release?
A: Oh let’s see, A Lick and A Promise has dream sex, shower sex, sword fighting sex and spaceship sex, a topsy turvy plot, lots of laughs, and a psychic dog. How’s that?
Q: What’s your favorite genre to write in and why?
A: I really enjoy this sort of futuristic-lite that I’ve created. It’s straight enough for readers who love grounded, contemporary romance, yet still has enough para-magic to satisfy my creative urges and add a fairytale quality to the stories.
Q: Can you tell us a little about your current WIP’s?
A: Currently I’m working on an erotic Urban Fantasy trilogy that involves shapeshifters plagued with personality disorders. I don’t want to say too much about it since it’s under construction, but I will say it’s a hoot. Perhaps the most outlandish idea I’ve ever had.
Q: How do you come up with your ideas?
A: It’s a continual process of wondering what if and why, and never being satisfied with a pat answer. Until the story borders on absurd but, hopefully, never crosses into ridiculous, I’m not happy!
