Going viral ... let's hope they never find a cure.

Viral used to be such an ugly word. But now it's something we as writers -- seeking to promote ourselves and our books -- aspire to. On that note, here's a teaser for our second QueryTrackers Making Tracks guest, David Kazzie, who will be joining me here on Friday:




What does this very familiar and hilarious video have to do with my guest? Well, he watched it like all the rest of us, for one. But there's something a little more personal this video did for David ... some way it played into his recent offer of representation. Want to know more? Stop by on Friday for all of the dirt on David's unconventional journey toward publishdom!

Also, since we're talking viral, I'd like to help fellow author, Jessica Bell, get closer to reaching that sought after status. Her debut novel, STRING BRIDGE, is a women's fiction about a woman who gives up her career as a musician to have a family, then later plots a return to the stage to try to find the person she lost along the way.

Jessica's having a contest to help spread word of the book trailer she's posted on YouTube. Visit her blog here to meet her and win prizes!

To further entice you, I have a sneak peek below (and heads up: that's Jessica herself singing a song her mother wrote. So this lady is twice talented. What an incredible gift!). Now without further adieu, I give you, the trailer.




Thank you Leigh T. Moore for cluing me in to this amazingly talented author/musician. I LOVE this song!! And the story looks every bit as fantastic!

Good luck, Jessica!  And I hope to see you all on Friday for David's guest post. He's got some interesting insights into the viral phenomenon. Maybe, if we're nice, he'll share. ;-)
