As an author in this economy, you have to come up with creative ways to market a self-published book. While book tours are a great way to connect with your readers, they aren’t the most affordable method of promotion. However, technology has made it possible for an alternative.
Take note from self-publishing Outskirts Press author, Dr. Don N. Bacchus, who is taking his latest book, Savior of the Child, on tour – a virtual book tour, that is. He will be featured on several blogs over the weeks and months ahead so keep your eyes peeled to learn more about him and his book.
Luckily for us, Dr. Don was kind enough to answer a few questions as the tour was getting started so that we can give you a sneak peek into the mind of the creator of Savior of the Child.
OP: Tell us a little bit about Savior of the Child. What is it about?
DNB: My book explains why some children flourish and why some children fail. The book emphasizes the important role that moms play in the lives of their children. Savior of the Child is about prevention, storing positive experiences in a child’s subconscious mind, and teaching a child important skills with repeated practice to a point of mastery.
OP: Why did you decide to write this story?
DNB: After 34 years of being a psychologist, I realized that we really don’t know how to help children. I discovered the important factors—mom’s important role, prevention, positive experiences stored in a child’s subconscious mind, and the teaching of specific skills with repetition to the point of mastery. It is my hope that Savior of the Child will be a tool to save many children.
OP: What types of readers would be interested in this story?
DNB: Parents, teachers, social workers, pediatricians, psychologists—anyone interested in helping children become successful.
OP: What is special about your book? What differentiates it from other books in the same category?
DNB: For years our society has made the mistake of ignoring a mom’s important role in the life of her child. We need to strengthen her hand and welcome her involvement. Savior of the Child teaches that many traumas can be prevented. The book emphasizes the important role of the child’s subconscious mind upon his overall functioning. Most people have mistakenly placed the emphasis on the conscious mind. Savior of the Child puts a heavy emphasis on the teaching of specific skills to the point of mastery. My book is special because a person can find everything he needs to know to save a child in one place.
OP: Have you published any other books? Do you plan to publish more?
DNB: I have published Beyond Psychotherapy—123 Life-Changing Ideas. I am currently working on a new book—Child of Trauma—A Path to Normalization.
OP: Thanks for your time, Dr. Don! We look forward to learning more about you as you visit other bloggers!
