Marketing a Children's Book

Well the book is finished, and we begin the journey to marketing and selling MADDIE & MOOK AND THE MESSAGE IN THE BOTTLE. The new flashwebsite is up and you can get to it easily by clicking on the title above.

I also urge everyone to follow me on Facebook and Twitter. On Facebook you can find me by clicking the link above or searching MADDIE AND MOOK CHILDREN'S BOOKS. On Twitter you can find me by clicking the Twitter link above or searching @MandMKidsBooks.

I need everyone's help and support as we work to first find an agent, and then a publisher. I don't ask for your support blindly. Read MADDIE & MOOK AND THE MESSAGE IN THE BOTTLE for yourself. I have an earlier edit of the book...never want to put the final edit where it could jeapardize publishing...on a site called authonomy.com.

Go to Authonomy and read Maddie and Mook, and then back the book by putting it on your shelf. You will have to create a user name, but they will not ask you for any personal information. Registering only takes a minute.

Here's a taste of MADDIE & MOOK AND THE MESSAGE IN THE BOTTLE:

A precocious girl and her rambunctious little puppy have a found a bottle on the beach. Through the weathered brown glass they find a note from far, far away.

Twelve year old Maddie is a dreamer. Throughout the day she dreams of the 'far away' places her photographer mom gets to visit and take pictures of. She is a smart young lady that fills her need to explore by searching the beach near her house, with her crazy little puppy, Mook. The note in the bottle floods her mind with thoughts of who wrote the note? Where did the bottle come from? What do the initials on the note mean?

Maddie searches, with the help of her mom and the companionship of Mook, for the place the old bottle came from. The internet and keen detective work help the team decipher the message. They start on an adventure that takes them across the ocean and down into the tropical islands of the Caribbean. What will they find on their journey? Will they find the person who wrote the note or more?
