My new book, When Will Papa Get Home?, is out and I had a Release Party last Sunday, December 6, 2015 on Facebook from 6:00-6:30 pm. I wrote out a script with a timeline and what I was to do.
My husband video-taped an introduction for me and I started with that. I uploaded it too late–I started at 5:55 pm and I should have started 5 – 10 minutes before, so I started a couple minutes late.
Here’s the timeline of the party I followed:
6:00 – Welcome Video & Timeline of party
6:05 – Story Behind the Story
6:10 – Great discount on ebook at Amazon for a limited time announcement
6:15 – Excerpt – Preface & Chapter 1
6:20 – Pictures
6:25 – Questions & Answers
6:30 – ebook discount announced
I created an Event on Facebook and invited lots of people, but only a couple actually showed up. I should have been more selective of who I invited.
I ended the Release Party with the announcement that my ebook would be FREE on Amazon for a limited time.
It was hard to interact on Facebook like I thought I could, so I am thinking a webinar would be better. It was a great learning process.

I am a retired teacher. I taught middle school for 20 years and then worked at the district level for 7 years.
I love to write, read, dance and travel. Computers are also a passion of mine.
My brother and I inherited our family ranch five years ago, so I am now a ranch manager!
My new writing project is a biography of Marshall Flippo, a 91-year-old world renowned square dance caller. Flippo recently passed away. I have over 40 hours of recorded interviews with him that will be the basis of his biography
I am also working on a women's fiction and a poetry collection. Retirement is great!
