I have published an e-book and so far it has had two genuine sales, one buyer being a neighbour.<br />I have made many book review requests, but gotten only a few positive responses - and no review as yet. I have a Twitter account to promote my book and I intend to hand out thousands of business cards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10479189974436584.post-3686837566067618092014-04-15T16:35:31.735-04:002014-04-15T16:35:31.735-04:00Thanks Susan,for hosting my article.

Dorothy, even though I have a blog and host some tour dates for others, I haven't organized one for myself. I seriously need to do that.

As a result I sold books, and then I too did the virtual book tour. I got a chuckle over the comment that getting older your desire to be huffing it to various places diminishes. So the on-line social media helps out a lot. I met many lovely writers and reviewers on my virtual book tour, which I maintain contact with. It's all part of promotion but the added benefits are exposure and new friends.

I need to put Hall's books on my to-read list. I also need to read faster. Nice comments here well worth adhering to for improved action with our own books.Mary Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097790821159195213noreply@blogger.com
