I use different free social media sites - facebook, twitter - with very limited success to promote my books. I'm still hoping that I stumble into something that makes one of my books really get noticed to allow it to sell a lot of copies at which point I retire to that tropical island. Sorry, I can't be more help. There are so many authors out there competing for a piece of the big pie. At any rate, I will have to check out your book.(less)

Mike Reuther, Searching for Sanity

Mike Reuther I finished reading "Confederacy of Dunces" the other day. It's a bit long. I think the author could have trimmed some of the story. The best parts of the book are when the principal character, a self-centered hot dog vendor in New Orleans, verbally abuses the people around him. This book has its share of comedy with its colorful cast of characters in New Orleans.

Mike Reuther I am reading the "The Sportswriter" by Richard Ford. It's not about sports, but more about a guy trying to get his life together after a failed marriage and the death of his son. Yes, he is a sportswriter for a national magazine. Ford is one of my favorite novelists.
