A Lesson in Going Viral from High School Students. Also, Palmyra

As of this posting, this video has been up for 4 days. It was created by high School students (which I'm guessing have AWESOME teachers) and posted online. The campaign to watch it has been entirely through email/FB/Twitter, etc.

Also, look at this one, which has been up 6 months.

These are GREAT videos to discuss on so many levels, since the first one has, in a few short days, received more hits than 90% of all book trailers (at least). The second, clearly has had a great viral run :)

Why are people watching these videos (and why will the numbers keep climbing)?

ALSO, anyone going to Palmyra this year with a desire to sign there? This would be specifically for the pageant 7/9-17/10.

Let me know in the comments as well if you are interested in this.

BYU Alumni Call

This is an all-call for authors who are BYU Alumni. I need to know who you are, so I can let BYU Magazine know you're a published author!

So all authors who are BYU graduates, could you please leave a comment on this thread?

Thank you!

Win or Donate... or BOTH!

Something about Spring just makes us all want to celebrate and have a little fun, and you can see that by checking out blogs.

Are you ready for this?

Nichole Giles and Cindy Beck are giving away a $150 advertising package on their site: http://ldshumor.blogspot.com. The winner will get a full year of great exposure for the product of their choice! This is a fabulous, fabulous prize and I can only cross my fingers and hope that a CFI author will win it :)

On another site, authors are uniting to raise money for flood victims in Nashville. So for those of you who just have money burning through your pockets, or you want a creative way to donate, check out: http://dothewritethingfornashville.blogspot.com.

And if you feel like answering a bit of trivia, then you can go to my site at www.sheralynpratt.com. Every day until June 7th, there will be a new trivia question and the first one to get it right gets to pick their prize.

The days are getting longer and warmer, so let's all get out there and have some fun!
