BreakThrough Promotions: Publicity Services for Authors

Sandi Ault and the Wild Bunch gather at the Estes Valley Library in Colorado to celebrate the release of Wild Penance. In the photo, Sandi is wearing her Laurie 2-Dog chaps complete with buttons hammered from authentic antique bawdy-house coins from all over the West—the official currency for services in the WILD days in those establishments. Sandi also sports her replica Colt Peacemaker six-shooter in a tooled holster. The WILD Mountain Get-Down was another standing-room-only party complete with edibles, potables, music, poetry, and an author's panel featuring members of the original WILD Bunch, the Fall River Writers. Friends and fans filled the library's meeting room and spent an afternoon of fun in celebration of yet another WILD Mystery!
