Happy Wednesday.

“You are more than you think you are.”

It’s hard to believe that I first wrote that sentence for my first novel, The Seven Rays, and it’s actually coming in one month. In honor of that occasion, I decided to post my first blog.

Simon & Schuster is publishing it on 11/24/2009. Although I’ve dreamed of my first book tour, and even planned some cute outfits, I never got the memo about book tours: they really don’t exist anymore. Gasp! Unless you’re Dan Brown or Stephenie Meyer, book tours and book marketing dollars are a thing of the past.

So, I’ve been trying to come up with creative ways to spread the word. If you liked my movies Bring It On or Stick It, you will love the book. Okay, that wasn’t very creative, but if you liked Twilight, I hear you will absolutely love the book. What The Seven Rays lacks in vampires, it makes up for with some seriously jazzy, paranormal jazz hands. It’s true, I wrote the real story behind “spirit fingers” and “spirit sticks.” And it is all in The Seven Rays. I swear.

If you haven’t already, I’d love it if you’d “Fan” The Seven Rays on Facebook:

Or follow The Seven Rays on Twitter at www.twitter.com/THESEVENRAYS.

You can also download a free track from my music muse, Girl Talk (who I listened to while writing the book, and he offered to let me feature his stuff…thanks, Gregg!). That download is available in a blog below.

I will be giving away more cool stuff in a blatant effort to get the word out, so feel free to keep the conga line going by forwarding this to any and all party people. Feel free to ask me questions, or let me know what you’d like to see more of in my effort to break the blogging barrier.

Thanks for playing,
Jessica B.
