During this period, My son, Scott, built a website for me at http://georgebannon.com. This is what he does for a living. I had emailed PublishAmerica on March 2, 2010 asking for permission to use the cover design on the website. On March 4, 2010 they responded giving permission to use it. PublishAmerica seems to provide as much help as they can to new authors.
March 8, 2010 I received an email telling me that my book, The Final Crusade, was selected to be among this week’s Book of the Week selections. This made me feel good. It put my book out there among the first seen and recommended on the PublishAmerica website.
On March 26, 2010 PublishAmerica notified me that the official release date for The Final Crusade would be May 1, 2010. They also told me it was currently available for purchase through PublishAmerica’s online bookstore. This email also told me they would create a Press Release and they asked me to send them Names and email addresses for all my local media. They planned to send the Press Release to them at the proper time.
They also told me to record any book signings I scheduled and send the pictures or video to them so they could be posted in the PublishAmerica gallery. They offered to provide a lot of help and I appreciated it. Things seemed to be moving very quickly.
