Go to the search box at the top of the page and type in Groups. That will bring up another page that will have a list over on the left hand side. Click on 'Groups'. Once the page reloads, a second search box below the original one, should appear. You can type in mystery books, adventure books, etc. and see what's out there. I'm a romance writer, so the groups I'm in wouldn't work for you. There seems to be a lot int he mystery category, so maybe you'll get lucky with one of those and find a match.

That's true, Larry, if you are talking about Facebook in general, but I'm talking about joining Facebook groups that pimp books or specifically books of your genre. They are out there, and can be very good tools for authors if you can tap into them.

That's true, but I really don't see much difference between that and being involved in multiple groups here on Goodreads.

Hello. I currently have two novels published through a small press called The Writer's Coffee Shop.



My first book, Hidden Threat, is a romantic suspense novel. Lots of sexual tension and corporate espionage.


My second novel is the beginning of a BDSM series revolving around two characters, Stephan and Brianna. The first book in the series, Slave (Finding Anna Book 1), begins the journey of a young woman who is rescued from a forced slavery situation. The series will follow these two as they deal with the effects of her past while dealing with life, family, and their growing attraction to one another.


I have a short story publishing next week, also through The Writer's Coffee Shop. It is a holiday romance compilation and includes short stories from four of our authors. Season of Love goes on sale October 27th.

My biggest success has been through Goodreads and Facebook. I've found groups that cater to my genre and have become active in those groups. My sales have gone up the last three months in a row. As Larry said, if something isn't working, stop putting energy into it and try something else. Then once you find something that is producing results, build on that and search for other avenues along the same lines that will continue to promote you and your work.
