Little did I know when I started posting about my publication journey that it would be 18 years before I could announce my book is up for preorder! In two weeks I’m launching HALF-TRUTHS at Park Road Books and I am super busy! Here’s a peek into what’s been happening in my neck of the woods.

This week I received my book trailer created by the amazing Stephanie D. Cotta!
I was interviewed THREE times this past week! You’ll see the first one on the Write2Ignite blog. The second, an audio recording with Rose Cushing, is still in production. Here is the third podcast with Herb White, executive editor of THE CHARLOTTE POST. This picture was taken fifteen years ago at the Second Ward Alumni House. Vermelle Diamond Ely has been an amazing expert and faithful friend. Although she is blind, she was one of the first to read my book. She had her phone read it to her!
If you preorder HALF-TRUTHS at Park Road Books, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon, and send the receipt to carol@carolbaldwinbooks.com, I’ll send you swag as soon as it is ready!
Finally, thank you to so many of you who have left marvelous reviews on Goodreads. Reviews and preorders help authors more than you can imagine–and I can’t wait to read your review!
P.S. This was a tremendous suprise last night!
What a busy and exciting time, Carol! congratulations!
Yes, it is. And a blessing!! Thank you, Kathy.
Congrats, Carol! How terrifically exciting! It must have felt absolutely great to unbox those books. I’m so happy that you’ll be appearing on Valinora Troy’s website. I really enjoy her reviews.
I’m curious… did you arrange your own blog tour?
Yes, Valinora has great reviews. I arranged my own tour. Since I know a lot of bloggers (MMGM and beyond) I contacted them and almost everyone said yes. There are places that will do this for you, but I figured I could do it myself. Thanks for commenting. Make sure you visit the different blogs for chances to win HT!
Thanks Carol, but I may not be able to win a copy of HT since I live in Canada. (Shipping costs from the US to Canada are atrocious.) I’ll look out for it at my library. Better yet, I’ll request that they carry it!
Valinora and Penny will be giving away ebooks–so you can try those sites. ANd YES!! Please ask your library to carry it! That would be marvelous!!
Wait the cover is actually so cute!
I’m glad you like it, Vanya! Hope you win a copy from one of the giveaway contests this week!
Opening a box of books never loses its thrill! But there’s something about that first one. :) Congrats and all God’s blessings!! So excited for you, Carol!
Thank you, Pam! I do feel blessed! ANd I hope you check in with the bloggers this week for some great interviews!
Congratulations Carol!!! Cheers to the fruit of your fortitude and endurance!
Thank you, Donna! There are still a few giveaways going on. Leave a comment and maybe you’ll win a copy of Half-Truths!
