Ways to Help Make THE LOCKUP PERIOD a Success
Apologies up front. It’s a ridiculously long list. Feel no pressure to do any of these things, but if you see a thing or two you can do, that would be wonderful. Honestly, I’m delighted that you’ve spent this much time learning about what the hell I’m up to!
Buy/Rate/Review
Purchase the book. There are lots of ways to do that—more info here.
Review the book where you purchased it, after you’ve had time to evaluate it.
Rate and review it on Goodreads.
On launch day, October 20, buy the $0.99 Kindle edition for friends. On Amazon, find the “Give as a Gift” box and enter your friend’s email address.
Attend a book signing. If you plan to do so, buy my $0.99 digital copy on launch day, then get a hardcover or paperback at the bookstore.
