Last month, September, I had my very first 140PR client. I was given the job to put a book on all e-devices, setup accounts on twitter, buffer and all other social media outlets–and make a facebook page for this book. I was also giving the job to promote this book “The Franklin Trees” as best as I could. This took me a months worth of week nights. I honestly wasn’t sure if I could put this book on the kindle let alone all e-devices, but my husband who is a great supporter of me told me I could do this. So I accepted my first client and I got the job done!
When I first took a look at The Franklin Trees I thought it was fitting when I started working on it. Why? Because in the very first paragraph, of the first chapter there is a sentence that reads — “It was the ninth of September, the Wednesday after Labor Day, and for Jim, the first day of sixth grade.” — For me this meant something because that was the same exact day that my daughter started school in the 6th grade.
I have been enjoying reading this book. This book is a page turner as far as I am concerned. The Franklin Trees is a mystery for ages 6th grade – adults. Now, I have to tell you I’m not really into reading mysteries, but this book got my attention. I was reading Chapter 12 “An Invitation To Bailiwyck” the other night, Friday October 2nd. That might not seem like that big of a deal to you except for the fact that as I was reading it I also read this paragraph — “So in the clear morning air of Saturday the third of October, Jim and Alan both sat waiting on the Canbys’ porch, better dressed than usual….” — Honestly I don’t believe in coincidence but that I found a bit creepy.
I am grateful for this opportunity that was given to me to put The Franklin Trees on all e-devices and promote this book. It has been a good experience for me as well as my first social media job. I have to be honest getting my first pay check for doing what I love felt GREAT.
The Franklin Trees has been available on the kindle since October 1st. It is also available on ibooks. I am still waiting for it to be available on the nook and kobo. I will keep everyone informed as to when this book is available on the nook and kobo. OH, yes, The Franklin Trees is also available on paperback.
The people written about in this book are fiction. However it is based on an area very similar to Catskill, NY and the Kaaterskill Falls that you read about in this book is a real place. My husband and I went to see it and I have to tell you it’s a beautiful place. If you go to The Franklin Trees Facebook page you can see some videos of the Falls for yourself.
So for my first job at putting a book on the kindle and creating it’s social media accounts I think I did a good job. I will continue to promote this book and I hope all of you will give this book a try.
