This post is to thank you, and everyone who helped this past week with the launch of Missing Mom, the third in the Estela Nogales mystery series. It really does take a village!

The most helpful idea has been for you to share the post about the launch with your Facebook friends. That post has reached more readers than other post I’ve made on Facebook in the past two years. Thank you!

Another idea is for me to send you bookmarks to give to your friends. These are designed by a professional graphic artist and printed on glossy cardstock. They make much appreciated small gifts, and keep the images of all three books in potential readers minds for a long time. Please message me or comment below if you would like (or would like more of) these bookmarks.

One big surprise this week was finding the launch of Missing Mom announced on a website for independently published mysteries. I found this quite by accident on the internet and was thrilled. Go to <omnimysterynews.com> Looks like a great place to find new mystery reads!

I am offering 3 free signed copies of Missing Mom on Goodreads Giveaways, for those of you who use the Goodreads site to find new books and keep track of your reading lists. The deadline to register for those is February 3rd.

Last, and most important, is persuading readers to post reviews of Missing Mom on Amazon.  Every single day for the past 12 days, someone has purchased one of the Estela Nogales Mysteries. Just imagine how many would have sold if there was even one review of Missing Mom on Amazon. Please!!

Thank you for your support!
