It sounds like a great read.<br /><br />Definitely encourage friends and relatives to request your novel at their libraries.

Without those "Big Four" reviews, it's an uphill battle. And they don't even have to be good reviews. <br /><br />However, I still can't bring myself to Twitter. Facebook is enough social networking time. And maybe that has something to do with it. Why do these people have every single tweet fed to their Facebook page? I finally had to create separate filters because 50 updates a day from these people was a total turnoff. Why do I care what A is tweeting to B? <br /><br />Love the verification word: unfooly. Is that a new synonym for 'honest'?Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632878082669459487.post-2669048915398050402009-08-05T08:25:37.893-04:002009-08-05T08:25:37.893-04:00These are great tips!

And not just because I work at one and love my job. <br /><br />I know that, generally, each library translates directly into only one sale, but the exposure to the general reading public is effective and wide-reaching.Craig Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601732068274136557noreply@blogger.com
