New Author Intro/Indie Promo Approach > Likes and Comments

Hi everyone,

Excited to meet and discuss the trials of independent book publishing with other authors.

My first novel, ART FARM, was released this past March. Here is some further info if you'd like to check it out: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...

It is a dark comedy, with hints of horror/thriller aspects, but not what many would consider "genre" fiction. This has made it a bit hard to market and to find circles in which to promote it. So along with my intro, I am curious if any of you have run into the same situation or if you might have any tips or insight regarding this. I have tried posting on social media and getting my book into some local bookstores, but now am at a bit of a loss about how to get my novel out there into the world.

Thanks in advance, and looking forward to chatting with you!

Best,

Marc

From the Amazon Bestselling author of Missing, comes a riveting new psychological thriller.

Tillamook county, Northwest Oregon had been lulled, a slumber gradually trailing the brisk night when an unthinkable tragedy sends a tremor through the district. Blake Campbell an antique storekeeper had been found lacerated in a threadbare wedding dress in the heart of her late husband's home on Miller Avenue.

And four women find themselves tied to the investigation.

Detective Rachel Olson believes it’s a wedding night gone wrong. Criminal law professor Claire Fisher thinks it’s the ex-wife. Psychologist Lisa Patterson is convinced it’s the disturbed son. And District Attorney Regan Sinclair has her money on the governor.

Four perspectives and a killer on the loose.

Miller Avenue Murder

If you find a facebook group called "Promote your book" or words to that effect, or a group about promoting your books, I wouldn't bother.

You'll get hopeful authors going on there to promote their material, what you won't get so much of in those groups is readers looking for their next book.

My latest book Mob Bride is currently being published, probably take a day or two,
Jessica was a member of the FBI organized crime taskforce. A specialist in working undercover, she was assigned to infiltrate the Logan crime family.

Josie was the the only daughter of Lucius Logan, the notorious head of the Logan crime family. Josie was being forced in a marriage to extend the reach of the crime family.

When Jessica arranges a secret rendezvous with Josie at a bar, she is outraged when she discovers Lucius has beaten his daughter and invites the girl back to her place where they kiss and make love.

Then Lucius arrives with the rest of his family and all hell breaks loose.

Creator of Spies

Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce that my novel, Creator of Spies, is finally available in English on Amazon! It's a thriller about a ghostwriter who gets caught up in a real-world conspiracy. I'd love for you to check it out if you enjoy stories about geopolitics, technology, and espionage. The Spanish version has been very well received by readers on Amazon, with great reviews and ratings! You can see the book trailer on my author page.

These days, it's also "promoters" and others wanting to flog their "services". They often come around to say how much they love your book, but when questioned, they can't even answer why or what they love in particular about the book.

Thank you for that warning. I feel like scammers are everywhere
