A girl after my own heart. I've followed you and after reviewing her work, followed your friend.
I have a suggestion that may help you both. I don't know if either of you are writers for Writers Write Reviews or something like that. I can locate the actual pub if you need me to. Their writers write about other writers they they enjoy and why.
So not only will you be getting eyeballs on your work, you're paying forward and helping other writers out. Maybe each of you could write about post about the other just to get things moving along? I don't know if that's too icky or not for your taste.
If I were still a writer over there I'd write a piece for each of you just to get the wheels turning. I may do one with a twist and send it to the one publication that I'm still affiliated with. I mostly self-publish at this point.
