Hype it up

Today marks one week since my novel went live, and the results have been a whirlwind celebration. I've been blown away with the supportive response on social media and I'm beyond grateful.Friends throughout my life have resurfaced with an outpouring of love, encouragement, and purchasing power. TO THE TOP OF GREENFIELD STREET reached "#1 New Release" on Amazon, August 22, and has reclaimed that height again several times ever since. I've garnered seven detailed and verified 5-star reviews. A story about my book was published in the local newspaper, and I have an interview with my hometown newspaper on Sunday.

So far four Northern Illinois/Southern Wisconsin libraries have ordered my book, none in MA yet, but I'm working on it. I've also ordered promotional posters and stickers to send to libraries and businesses. I've emailed, posted, talked and texted so much in the last few days, and this is just the beginning. The initial storm will end soon, and I'll have to get more creative. How can I get a reviewer to read my book, or get it featured on a major media site? How can my book reach the next level of renown? I'm learning as I go and I'm enjoying the ride. Thanks again to everyone for all of their support.
