Book Launch Q&A: A.S. Fenichel, Author THE EARL NOT TAKEN #booklaunch @KensingtonBooks @pumpupyourbook

A.S. Fenichel gave up a successful IT career in New York City to pursue her lifelong dream of being a professional writer. She adores writing stories filled with love, passion, desire, magic and maybe a little mayhem tossed in for good measure. Originally from New York, she grew up in New Jersey, and now lives in Missouri with her real-life hero, her wonderful husband and two temperamental cats.





Book Blurb
Left standing on the side while their contemporaries marry into society, four young ladies forge a bond to guard each other from a similar fate . . .

Finishing school failed to make a proper lady of Penelope Arrington. But as a Wallflower of West Lane, Poppy has a far more vital role—she and her three best friends have made a pact to protect each other from the clutches of dangerous, disreputable men. So when one of them is about to be married off to a duke sight unseen, Poppy makes it her mission to divine the prospective husband’s true character. If only she didn’t require the aid of London’s most unsuitable rake.

Rhys Draper, Earl of Marsden, has known the headstrong Poppy since she was a young girl, naïve to the ways of men. To her eternal chagrin—and to his vague amusement—they have been at odds over the memory of their embarrassing first encounter all these years. Now, with his services in need, Rhys sees a chance to finally clear the air between them. Instead, he is surprised by the heat of their feelings. If the two do not tread carefully, they may end up in a most agreeably compromising position . . .

After your book was released, what was the first thing you did when getting ready for your book launch?

I check with my publisher to see what they have planned so we’re not repeating the same kind of promotion.

After that, what was your next step?

I contacted Pump Up You Book promotions to get on their schedule for my release month.

Did you do anything different to spice up your website in lieu of your upcoming book release?

For The Wallflowers of West Lane I had my entire website updated. It’s gorgeous. Check it out http://asfenichel.com

Did you ever consider using a PR agency to help you promote your book or did you prefer the DIY route?

I have done both. For now, I manage most of it myself, I work with Fresh Fiction and have the help of my publisher.

Were finding reviews a top priority for you and, if yes, how did you approach that?

Reviews are really important to Amazon sales. I have a FB group of fans that help me and NetGalley is a huge help in gaining reviews. I have also become friends with some wonderful bookstagrammers and they help out a lot.

What are your views on social media for marketing your book?

Social Media takes up a lot of my time, but it’s also a great way to reach readers who love Regency Romance.

What social media has worked best for you?

Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook are the three I focus on personally. I use Twitter, but not as much.

Did you write a press release and do you think it worked for you?

I have not yet mastered this skill.

Did you have other books you offered for free in order to help sell your present book?

I have some novellas that are free to readers who join my newsletter or visit my website. http://asfenichel.com

Did you set up booksignings and, if so, how did that work for you?

I love book signings. Unfortunately, my upcoming appearances have been cancelled due to Covid 19. I hope to get out there again in a few months.

Any tips for those authors wanting to set up a successful book launch?

Make yourself visible and available to readers. Get going on a newsletter subscriber list. Grow your BookBub following. Grow your Social Media following. Get those reviews, but don’t read them. LOL

Thanks for having me here today. Andie, A.S. Fenichel
