I did receive recognition at redroom.com for the ad I placed in their "ad blog" contest - a book reward should be in the mail to me. Any recognition is fun, and when it includes a good book that's even better.
The first March issue of www.swspotlight.com/author/dk_christi is available. Actually, the article on photographing the wild (not my story) is a good read.
I made some recommended changes to www.dkchristi.com and appreciate any comments.
I also want to recommend again "The Book Marketing Expert newsletter," a free ezine offering book promotion and publicity tips and techniques. http://www.amarketingexpert.com In recent months it has become more of a sales tool for their own services, but it still gives some good tips and the recent one had quite a bit about online marketing. Just beware that their purpose is to sell their services and sift out what you can use between their ads. When it started, it was all free, useful info with some ad. Now it mostly ads but still includes a good bit of useful info. Their useful info can also be reprinted for content on blogs, etc. so long as they are referenced.
