Alex J. Cavanaugh is seeking support in his Thunderclap for Dragon of the Stars, scheduled to go out April 7. If you sign up, Thunderclap will automatically send out a Facebook status or Tweet at the pre-determined time with information on Alex's book release. It's super easy to do, and only goes out when it says it will.

I've taken part in a couple of Thunderclaps. I think they were good for the author although I'd have to try it myself to be sure! Thanks as ever for the links. I'm working on a couple of submissions for links you provided before.
Cool to spread the word for Toi and Alex who are two of my favorite writers.
I keep thinking "I can do that", but I never do.
You're the Queen of Links, Shannon!
You're incredible at these, Shannon. Where do you find them???
Good luck with those submissions! This is only the third Thunderclap I've taken part of, but they're easy to do. I think it's an interesting idea. Plus, it's fun to see how far a reach people add to it.
I'm happy to be able to!
The Thunderclap? Or submitting? Either way, you can do it!
It's great to be queen! ;)
All over! I've joined LinkedIn groups, various groups on Facebook. Searches of my own while looking for markets. So on and so forth. It's just that I started sticking them in a spreadsheet according to deadlines as I came across them. They add up pretty quickly.
Thanks for the links, Shannon! I have thirteen stories out to markets right now, and am hoping to finish two more today.
Thanks for keeping me updated with these links. I need to write some more shorts and get them sent out! :)
I just went to Wicked Words Quarterly and they've shut down this month. Dangit. That was the first one I clicked on!
love these links - just reading them inspires me to go for a submission! i bookmarked this. thanks!
Yes! Fantastic! Let's keep that number climbing.
Argh! Thank you for passing that along.
I hope you do submit, and good luck!
