A New Endeavor and Reader Opportunity

Aloha! I am hanging out my shingle as the Aloha Author Assistant at this link. This gives me the opportunity to work with authors while fine tuning my own marketing skills. Plus I will post topics of interest for authors once or twice a week. 

Readers, I value your input and seek your feedback to these posts. Each week I will give away a book choice to one randomly selected commenter.

This week I found inspiration from Hawaiian Comedian Rap Reiplinger's Room Service:

Room Service (Part 1) - Housekeeping (link)

Room Service (Part 2) - Russell, You Get Pen (link)

Please join me at Aloha Author Assistant ... we are all members of Romanceland!

Concierge Service, Hawaiian style

Here at SOS Aloha, I am giving away a book choice to one randomly selected commenter. To enter the giveaway,

1. Leave a comment about your favorite comedian and/or comedic routine. Room Service reminds me of Who's on First from Abbott and Costello.

2.. Comments are open through Saturday, March 5, 10 pm in Baltimore.

3. I'll post the winner on Sunday, March 6.

You may recall I wrote an article for RWA's magazine, Roll Out the Red Carpet for Readers (reprinted on my blog at this link).   I want to write another article ... and I am seeking your feedback.  What would you like to tell authors ... in general or specific?  About their books?  Your reading preferences?  What you like about the publishing industry?  What you don't like?  

 Submit your feedback to sos.aloha@yahoo.com - please use "Reader Feedback" in the subject line.  All feedback will be considered private and may be used anonymously in my article. 

I am giving away a book choice from my convention stash to one randomly selected reader who submits feedback by email. Emails will be accepted through December 20, 10 pm in Baltimore.  I'll contact the winner by email.

I am also giving away a book choice today on my blog - leave a comment about Mississippi - what do you know about the Magnolia State?  Can you recommend a romance books set in the 20th state?  Comments are open through Saturday, December 13, 10 pm in Baltimore.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, December 14.

Mahalo,
