Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays...
If you're anything like me you probably don't respond well to overt self-promotion.
It's not that I don't think every book written by every writer on goodreads isn't utterly fantastic...
I know they aren't. But what's a writer without a big publishing house spending piles of money promoting his book to do?
You do what everybody else seems to be doing. You Tweet. You Facebook. You make friends on goodreads, you put your book on sale with a Kindle Countdown Deal and hope and pray that somebody, somewhere buys your book.
And you hope and pray even harder that someone likes it.
And then you pray a little more that they'll like it so much they write a glowing review, at Amazon and goodreads, and they Tweet about the book, and post it on Facebook they are so excited to have discovered the greatest new writer.
That's what I asked Santa for.
So Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Holidays, Happy Festivus, Happy New Year...whatever floats your boat.
P.S. - did I mention my book is on sale? At Amazon.com, 67% off for 72 hours, only $0.99. Check it out. It's good, very good. Please.
