Creating an ad on Facebook

I decided to try my hand at creating an ad on Facebook. The ad system is targeted to different demographic groups chosen when making the ad.

I chose books, adventurers, disability and those people over 30 yrs of age.

I am hoping this could help spread the word about "Travels in a Blue Chair" to a whole new group of readers!

We'll see how it goes.

Disability Studies programs at universities.

Whilst visiting a great friend of mine, named Jennifer, out on the west coast recently, I found out that her book on film making techniques has really taken off.

It turned out that a key individual in Jennifer's field has sought her out to include some passages in their new book. It proved a boost to the circulation of Jennifer's book!!

We discussed trying to find out who might be a key individual in the field of Disability Studies and see if they could see the value of "Travels in a Blue Chair" to those students in this new field of study.

What a great idea, and so innovative! I am planning on following up to see if this is a possibility. You never know who the next great idea is going to come from!
