Only 11 months until my manuscript becomes an actual book!  (Although it has been almost a decade since I started down this path!)

If you are willing, here are a few of the ways you can help me in the next year as I continue to build my social media platform:

1.  Go to my Facebook Author page and like it, share it, and comment on anything and everything.  It is helpful if you invite others that you think may be interested to like my page.  The address is:

2.  Twitter.  Retweet things like my blog posts and tweets, especially as things get rolling and I do my cover reveal and other promo tweets like that.  My twitter is @mindybakerbooks

3.  I am now on Instagram.  (mindybakerbooks) You can follow me there, too!  I don’t know much about it, but I will be learning.

4.  Goodreads and Amazon.  I will tell you more about this as time gets closer.  I hope to do some give-aways.

5. Become a follower on this blog (SO GLAD YOU ARE ALREADY HERE).

You may wonder where we are at in the publication process (and it is a lengthy process!)

The illustrator is Dow Phumiruk.  She is so talented!  You can see samples of her artwork on her website www.artbydow.com.  I have seen the cover and it is adorable!  I am really looking forward to the big reveal for that!

I want to thank you again for your interest, friendship, and support.  It means the world!  I am counting the days until October, 2018!
