Hi groupies!
Terry asked me to participate in this group. Many of you are already familiar with me; others are not.
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Shannon Mobley. Terry
Williams and I started Electric eBook Publishing back in 2000 after one of
my first novels was accepted for publication by a major publisher here in
Canada. (Not only has Terry been my business partner, but he's also my
husband. Together we have a rambunctious life full of books and children!)
When we took at look at the publishing contract, Terry and I looked at each
other curiously and decided to publish the book ourselves.
More than 60 titles later, my book is yet unpublished...but it is in the
queue! One of these days I will get to the final edit...
October 2003, I moved out of the publishing business and into an
ownership/sales and marketing position with BookSurge Canada. So any time
your books are ordered (either retail or wholesale) and printed in Canada, I
see them cross the divide between PDF and paperback. I generally will see
the final product even before Terry!
Through BookSurge, I can also provide marketing opportunities to any of you
either on an individual basis or as a group. For example, I've just returned
from two industry trade fairs---Book Expo America and Book Expo Canada---in
which we provided representation of authors' and publishers' titles to the
book trade. Not only are these shows a great opportunity to showcase your
titles to bookbuyers, but they're also a lot of fun!
Anyway...the reason for my email today (in addition to introducing myself),
was to invite any interested parties to a free web seminar to be held
tomorrow evening (Tuesday, June 22, 2004 at 9:00 PM EST) "How to Market Your
Book and Achieve Greater Sales Success." More information can be found
online at:

I look forward to working with each and every one of you.
Best regards,
Shannon Mobley
