Gail Sobotkin: Legacy Scribes Continue Spreading the Word About Mysterious & Miraculous

I wanted to share some of the creative ways that Legacy Scribes have been promoting the Mysterious & Miraculous book series. 

Shauna L. Bowling, known as Bravewarrior on HubPages, wrote a touching hub reminding readers what a difficult time of the year the holiday season can be for veterans, especially those who are suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, or depression.

Her article, How Your Purchases Can Benefit Our Veterans, tells readers about several different types of purchases they can make which will help support veterans.

She skillfully wove information and links about Mysterious & Miraculous and the Legacy Archives Foundation into the article and ended with this statement, “Our veterans put their lives on the line for each and every one of us. It’s time we give back.”

I couldn't agree with her more and thank her for taking time out of her busy schedule to help promote the Mysterious & Miraculous book series. Her fascinating story, The Voice of God, will be published in M & M Book II and I’m sure readers will enjoy it.

Pamela Oglesby, known as Pamela99 on HubPages, is one of our most prolific Legacy Scribes and has made contributions to M & M Books I & II. 

One of the cool things about submitting a true story to the Legacy Archives Foundation is that the writer can interview someone who’s had a paranormal experience and then write that person’s story on their behalf. Pam interviewed two women for M & M Book II and then penned an excellent hub titled, Conducting a Proper Interview.

The article contains great tips that authors or Legacy Scribes will find useful when writing true stories about other people, whether it be for magazine articles, newspaper articles, or anthology collections. 

Dane Turnbull, who wrote under his HubPages pen name, Alastar Packer, in M&M Book I, and has contributed another great story for Book II, was busy promoting both books in a 30 Minute Quirky Podcast with Jade Blackmore. The 30 minute interview that Jade did with him can be heard at  .  

I know other scribes are continuing to reach out to local newspapers, veteran’s organizations and other groups about both books. They are also sharing Tweets and Facebook posts and are emailing info about the books to their respective alumni organizations. I want to thank everyone for their awesome efforts. You are a special group of people and I feel so honored to be part of this worthy project.

Gail, what a wonderful article! Thanx for the shout-out. I pray my hub brings sales to M & M and prompts readers to remember our veterans and active-duty service men and women year round.

I missed Pam's article and Dane's podcast. I'm off to catch up.

Thanx again for the great post!

Reach for the stars is obviously the objective of the Legacy Scribes. I wish I could contribute stories about S.A.'s veterans, about innocent boys who had thought they were fighting communism, totally misled by short-sighted politicians....

Mysterious and Miraculous seems to be a great and highly successful project, led by writers with vision :)

Dear Martie,
Yes, we are reaching for the stars and we're so thrilled that you are now a Legacy Scribe. Your story contribution to Mysterious & Miraculous Book II is beautifully written, exquisitely detailed and very touching and I know readers will enjoy it.
Angelia is the visionary, and it is so exciting to see her vision taking form with the creation of Legacy Archive Foundation and the publication of Mysterious & Miraculous Books I and II.
Hugs & Love,
Gail

Dear Maria,
Yes, these are excellent examples of how to market our books and nowadays marketing by authors is essential for sales, but I think it's also the last thing that writers want to do. That's why I so appreciate how Legacy Scribes are putting time and effort into promoting the books.
On a personal level, I know that my own inspiration comes from knowing that such a high percentage of sales will be helping veterans. And I know that being one of the editors for Book II has been exciting because of the quality of the stories that we've received, and the enthusiasm of the scribes!
Thanks, as always, for the immense amount of time you've devoted to the whole project and for easing me into the world of editing. I'm learning so much from you, Angelia and Mike.
Love,
Gail

Boomer,

As always, you've come through with another well written and persuasive post.

You're own style being incorporated into this effort is very much appreciated and it's wonderful to have you helping with the website posts as well.

I'm still rather boggled at how big this got as fast as it did, and I've never been so happy about being boggled in my whole life.
