Week one of 100 days of book promo is done! I learned a lot this week.

Before we dive in, I am still selling Her Lisbon Colors from my bookshop. Want a signed copy? Want a special edition? Get your book here.

Overall, I am feeling much better about promoting the book. There was a month of ‘recovery’ from the launch. I’ll be writing about that, because I would do some things very differently. In Boulder last week, I popped into Rebecca’s Apothecary. They have a lot of divination decks, and I love to draw one at random. This card from a Gratitude deck was so perfect for me:

YES! There always seem to be a gazillion emotions at once, right?

Today, I’ll share what I learned last week, plus the tasks I did to get the word out about Her Lisbon Colors.
