The authors of the summer of zombie blog tour owe a big thanks to Armand Rosamilia for organizing this great event each year. But why does he do it? Let's just say it's part of his personal mission statement. Check out his thoughts, and his books, below!
Why I do Summer of Zombie Blog Tour?
This will be a short and sweet guest post, since I’m very
busy not only putting together this massive tour but pacing to write 5,000
words a day on a project I’m on deadline with. So…
Someone asked me in the beginning of the Summer of Zombie
blog tour why I do this. Why have to format interviews, guest posts and teasers
for 30+ authors every June? Why?
Because I believe in Karma.
Capital K, too.
Sure, I could spend the month worrying about my writing. I
could use the hundreds of hours it takes to get this tour organized writing and
promoting myself. I could do my own thing and shout from the rooftops about my
upcoming releases… and I always have something coming out.
Instead, I give back. I learned a long time ago it is better
to give than receive, and that isn’t just a catchy slogan. If you ask me a
question I’m going to give you an answer.
When I was a new author, so many great people stopped and
answered my questions. They led by example and kept me honest.
My goal is to return the favor. I want to be known as a
great writer, which is what we all want. But I also want to be known as a great
person who helped other writers attain their goals. I’m blessed. Very blessed.
I wake up every day and I’m able to sit around in my sweatpants and write and
talk to people online all day. I create, promote and feel great with every
sale. I’m able to live my dream and have no regrets.
I want to give back because I’m in a great place. Simple as
that. Each and every June I will sacrifice a huge chunk of my time to help get
other zombie authors into new areas and let new readers know who they are.
Because I want all of us to succeed.
Sure, it would be awesome for me to be on the top. But it’s
lonely up there. I want to get there and have all of my fellow authors hanging
out, and if I’ve helped them reach their mountain we can all have fun together.
Simple as that.
Welcome to one of the best time’s as a writer for me…
helping my fellow writers.
