Non Fiction Many authors spend countless hours writing their books, only to feel overwhelmed when it comes time to promote them. Social media advice changes daily, new platforms appear constantly, and it can feel like you’re supposed to be everywhere at once. The truth is that successful book promotion doesn’t start with trends—it starts with infrastructure. In Building Your Readership: Building Your Book Infrastructure, author and book promotion strategist LaShaunda Hoffman shares a practical guide to creating the foundation every author needs to grow their audience.

Hoffman also explores tools, promotion teams, and community building—key elements that make promotion easier and more sustainable. This book is especially helpful for authors who have already published but want to strengthen their promotion strategy and reach more readers. By focusing on the fundamentals, Building Your Readership helps writers move from scattered promotion efforts to a clear, consistent approach that grows with every book they release. If you’re ready to stop guessing about book promotion and start building a stronger connection with your readers, this guide offers the structure and encouragement to help you move forward with confidence.

Book Of The Day - The Adventures of Good Eagle and Miss Starling (The Untamed Frontier Series Book 1) by Genny Cothern

THE ADVENTURES OF GOOD EAGLE AND MISS STARLING
Montana, 1847

When my life is turned upside down, I have no one to turn to except Uncle Jed, a fur-trader who lives deep in Indian Country; a man I have never met. I was expecting to be greeted by my Uncle Jed at a place called Fort Union, a fur-trading fort some two thousand miles above St. Louis. But, when I finally arrive at the fort, I am met, instead, by an eighteen-year-old Indian, Good Eagle, who swears my uncle has sent him to meet me. Would you trust this boy, a youth only two years older than my sixteen years? I certainly didn't and I told him so. However, although I was polite, he took offense.

As the steamboat continues its way to my uncle's fur-trading post, Fort Lewis, the Indian boy, Good Eagle, has declared that my heart has panther's claws around it. Yet, though he seems to dislike me as much as I do him, because of the promise he gave to my uncle, he has no option but to guard me.

But, when my life is threatened and Good Eagle saves me, I experience a change of heart about this young man; I decide I will "bury the hatchet" and become friends with him. Imagine my surprise when he refuses my offer of friendship.

Can I ever change Good Eagle's mind about becoming my friend? Or will his first impression of me remain to forever haunt us?
