Busy as a Bee or a Hummingbird?
My hummingbirds are busy as well as the bees. The red-bellied woodpecker has started his mid-summer task of gathering sunflower seeds and hiding them in the bark of the pine tree for safekeeping until he needs them this winter. So it seems all is well.
We have also been busy with summer tasks, gardening, birding and other regular summer jobs that come along with living in the country. We have in addition been busy promoting Friends in the Meadow-Birds.
A second press release was issued on July 16, 2009, titled, Friends in the Meadow - Birds, A New children’s Book Promoting Positive Parent-Child Relationships. This one was similar to the first one with more emphasis on the parent-child relationship. This press release was distributed by i-Newswire.com.
On July 17, 2009, the first Press Release (One Bird in the Hand and Two in the Bush) distributed by Free Press Release.com, was listed as part of a search list that was done for a new press release issued by Parents and Friends, which represents The Compassionate Friends which is a worldwide organization.
Friends in the Meadow-Birds has been entered into The National Best Books 2009 Awards event which is sponsored by USA Book News based in Los Angeles, California. Just for entering, the book receives a four month full color listing on USABookNews.com. The timing of this advertisement or promotion is just right for the Christmas holiday season.
Reviews of the book are in the making by several people,
The book now has a presence on Twitter and Facebook. It is becoming easier to find in net searches, so the web presence is beginning to grow.
Other promotional activities are also in the making. So we all have been busy bees or birds or people!
