Gifts: Expected & Unexpected

What lights up the memories of your past birthdays?

A DELIGHTFUL BIRTHDAY GIFT!

Sometimes gifts are expected…sometimes they are not. Over the decades of my life, I’ve found that birthdays are surprising events. No matter what you expect to experience, there are always elements that take you by surprise. Tomorrow is my 71st birthday and it has already proven to align with that rule…

AN UNEXPECTED INTERVIEW
With three published volumes in the Natalie Seachrist Hawaiian Mysteries, I’m always looking for new marketing ideas and platforms. A couple of weeks ago, my publisher surprised me with an interview opportunity on ManyBooks.net. This is an online publication that offers substantial interviews of featured authors based on numerous questions about their latest publications and work in general. Beyond this, I was able to provide links to my websites and this blog!

So, if you would like to learn more about my writing style and methodology (as well as information on Murders of Conveyance) check out “Jeanne Burrows-Johnson – Visions, False clues, Murder and Hints of a Priceless Treasure.”

ADVERTISING VIA KIRKUS REVIEWS
One of the most respected sources for review of published material is Kirkus Reviews, which reviewed Murders of Conveyance. While a reviewer may not love every aspect of my tales of murder—like those who don’t love my coverage of Island food and restaurants—I’ve always found they deliver quotable passages for book covers and advertising. In about a week, the colorful ad shown above will appear in Kirkus Reviews Email Newsletter which is directed at a substantial list of subscription recipients.

Expected, or unexpected, I’ll take any gift I’m given!

Wishing you the best in your creative endeavors,
Jeanne Burrows-Johnson, author, consultant, and motivational speaker
