Hello Friends and Fans! I’m sending you this note to ask you to help me spread the word about my books Peter and the Whimper-Whineys and Santa’s Birthday Gift by Sherrill S. Cannon. I find book marketing the most time consuming, and often frustrating of part of writing children’s books. If a book is not promoted, it will not sell, no matter how great the book is; and the market is very competitive. Books published by small presses are often overlooked. If you are interested in helping me, there are a few simple things that you can do – and any help is greatly appreciated! Below is a list of ways to help: 1. Please recommend my books to your friends. 2. Check out and "like" my Facebook Fan Page, set up through the publisher, Strategic Book Group. If you are already a fan, please suggest that your friends "like" it. The link is below.
3. Here are the links to the video trailers for both books. They really help to tell the story of the stories! Peter and the Whimper-Whineys:
Santa’s birthday Gift: 4. Here are the links to purchase the books through Amazon, Barnesandnoble.com, and Strategic. http://www.amazon.com/Peter-Whimper-Whineys-Sherrill-S-Cannon/dp/1609115171/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271957505&sr=1-3
I particularly like to send potential buyers to the amazon.com site, because they have a “look-inside-the-book” feature – so you can “browse” a little. Here are a few other links:

Of course, shipping is free through amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com (if you order more than $25 worth of items), but shipping is fairly expensive through the publisher. 5. I have signed books available on eBay, with instructions as to how to let me know how you would like your book(s) inscribed.
6. Please ask your local library to order the books.
7. Books can be purchased for resale by stores and libraries directly through the publisher for a 50% rate, plus shipping. The link is: http://www.aeg-online-store.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?register=action. 8. My website is: www.sherrillcannon.com. Please take the time to check it out, and if you like it, please “like” it. One of these days I hope to have more time to add more to my blog, but there are additional pictures and information about the books there. 9. Book reviews are very effective to help potential buyers make a decision about purchasing a book through an online retailer. Since most people are buying the book sight unseen, it is helpful if they can read through several reviews. This is really important when the book is written by a relatively new and unknown author, like me! If you have read one or both of the books and would like to write customer reviews on Amazon.com and/or Barnesandnoble.com, I would really appreciate that! If you already have an account, it is fairly simple to write a review. There are several really great ones there already!
10. It is also relatively simple to "tag" the books at Amazon.com. Tags are labels that are associated with the type and subject of a particular book, and it is helpful to have several customers "agree" with the tags that are listed for your book, as my books will come up when these "tags" are entered as search criteria. 11. I am available to do book readings and signings related to the books. Please contact me if you are interested in having me talk to your group. 12. The books can be sold to raise funds for your school, church, or organization. Books can be purchased for resale through the publisher at a 50% rate, plus shipping. There is no minimum or maximum order. I am available to purchase unsold books and would be happy to sign books for this type of event. Please contact me for more information. Books are "print on demand" and are printed in the good old USA (but they take a couple of weeks to arrive!) If you are interested in helping me out with one, two, or a few of these items, I would really appreciate it! The book marketing business is a lot of fun and very rewarding, but it is time consuming and a lot of hard work. If anyone knows of a way to make my books “go viral”, please let me know…or just do it!!! I am looking forward to the release of my third rhyming book, The Magic Word in 2011. Then I will have to ask you to do this all over again! :)
Thanks again for everyone's help and support, and please let me know if you have any questions. Sherry
PS – Thanks to my friend, Jannifer Stevens Powelson, author of Rachel and Sammy Visit the Prairie, and Rachel and Sammy Visit the Forest, for suggesting this type of communication. Please check out her books as well, especially if you have any Junior Botanists or Naturalists in the family! The illustrations and photographs in these books are wonderful, as are the informative stories.
