You know the saying, it's not what you know, it's who you know.

Yesterday I was chatting to a tourist, we then got on to the subjects of books and I mention I was an author with two published books. It turns out this lady works for a big newspaper in Ireland, The Independant ( I think). She's taken my card and is going to speak to one of her workers, about me.

She's says my books are very marketable, as am I. She knows I'm hunting for an agent, and she also mentioned how the newspaper prints books reviews. She's promised to speak to someone at the paper, and seems very excited about it.

I'm not sure if anything will come out of this, but who knows.

That sounds exciting. Sometimes the best things happen when least expected.

That would be good, Karina. The Independent has worldwide online distribution and is a fine paper. I read it every morning.

...and another reason to always, always have a business card handy. Now that's done Karina, hopefully there's another one right behind her for you! sunny

Could be one of those examples of cool synchronicity we hear about when famous people tell us where they got a big but unexpected break.

I haven't heard anything yet.

It is amazing who you can bump in to. Word of mouth is an excellent way to promote.

Good luck.
