I joined last November and often check out the new arrivals, sometimes I post a comment or two as well. I have self-published a book, "A crime worse than murder" and have tried to promote it in some of the forums available here. I haven't had a lot of success, but understand that this endeavor is sought by many and I tend to rely on my best trait... patience. I just want to pass along this tidbit to other newbies... be sure to go into the many forums and give your input. One of my favorites has been the political and current events forum. What fun, giving ones thoughts and opinions and receiving the same from others!

Authors have it hard. I'm not sure of the magic combo of marketing efforts necessary to achieve success but I'll keep searching for it. If I discover anything I'll let you know.
