September 2025 Book Marketing Challenge Update

September wasn’t the most productive writing month for me (life had other plans), but something surprising happened. My book sales actually went up! Maybe it was thanks to the extra push I gave my Lupita book marketing… maybe it was just good luck. Either way, I’m celebrating the win. 

I kept my Amazon ads running for both Abuelita ¿Qué Vamos A Hacer Hoy? Let’s Make Rosca de Reyes and the Exploring Traditional Herbal Remedies in Mexico series, and I also showed up consistently on social media with some targeted posts focused on the Abuelita book. The results? Not too shabby at all.

Looking ahead, I’m maintaining my focus on my children’s book, Abuelita ¿Qué Vamos A Hacer Hoy? Let’s Make Rosca de Reyes! (available in both bilingual and Spanish editions) for the next couple of months with more of the same.

So, how about you? What book projects or marketing strategies are you planning to roll out in the next couple of months?
