Halloween Book Event

Event Page Link: https://www.facebook.com/events/527330558809222/

This Halloween, you’ll find Kaye Lynne Booth and WordCrafter Press on Facebook for Sonoran Dawn‘s Autumn Cider Book Event – All Hallow’s Eve: What Web We Weave Book Event, hosted by Sonoran Dawn Studios. All are welcome to join us. (If we are friends on Facebook, you may have already seen an invitation.)

Come party and promote with us. If you’re an author, there are author takeover spots open. Click on the event link, mark yourself as going and message the host, DL Mullan, if you are interested in doing an author takeover spot. It’s pretty easy to do an author takeover. You just prepare a few promos, memes, games or even videos to entertain and interest readers for a half an hour or so, and post during your time slot, promoting yourself and your writing at the same time. It makes it easier if you create a script with each post listed along with links with each post directing readers to your sites, social media and author pages. If you’re unsure, you can contact me and I’ll try to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

If you’re a reader, come and hang out and engage with your favorite authors, or maybe find some new ones. Join us for games and giveaways, and other fun Halloween stuff. Sonoran Dawn has some great stuff planned, and let’s face it, we’re too old to trick or treat.

WordCrafter Press will be promoting all three of the short fiction anthologies published in 2022: Once Upon an Ever After, Refracted Reflections, and Visions, the Poetry Treasures 2: Relationships anthology, and Ask the Authors 2022, which is now available in Kevin J. Anderson’s Writer’s Career Toolkit Bundle through the end of November. (If you are planning to do NaNoWriMo, you may want this bundle now. You can get yours here: https://storybundle.com/writing) And we’ll have a special promotion for the WordCrafter paranormal anthology collection: Whispers of the Past, Sprits of the West, Where Spirits Linger and the set, Lingering Spirits Whisper.
