Description

You think you know the world of magical boarding schools? Not from a teacher’s perspective at a school for at-risk youth. Happily ever after is short-lived for Clarissa Lawrence while working as the arts and craft teacher at Womby’s School for Wayward Witches. After being reunited with her long-lost love, Derrick disappears mysteriously. Staff members at the school start unexpectedly dying. Right away, Clarissa sees that the wicked librarian is up to no good. Clarissa learns Thatch has been keeping secrets from her, and suspects he is more involved with the Raven Court than he has let on. When Clarissa discovers Thatch has helped the Raven Queen use Derrick as a weapon against her, she doesn’t know if she can trust him anymore. She must solve the mystery of what has happened to Derrick, who has been killing people and draining them of their magic, and if Thatch’s new girlfriend might be more than what she seems. If Clarissa doesn’t discover who the murderer is, and how to save Derrick in time, he may be lost forever. Worse yet, she might turn up dead next.

Marketing Plan

I am using AMS and Facebook ads. I have sales planned periodically, which always help boost sales of other books in the series. My newsletter has been a good resource for when I publish a new book, so I will continue to do that. I use social media but it isn’t as effective as my newsletter. I am going to a conference soon to learn new things about my advertising and will apply some of those techniques. So far one of my biggest ways of generating revenue has been releasing another book in the series.
