Getting the word out

Today's post is not about the books themselves but rather promoting the books. This is no joke. I have used the following avenues (and more!) to get the word out about Rome's Revolution:

· Two Web Sites
· The Wiki - The Science Behind the Science Fiction
· Posting the books on Goodreads
· This Goodreads blog
· Posting the book on Amazon, B&N, iTunes, Kobo and Smashwords
· An Etsy store
· Posting the book on Ebay
· Creating a YouTube trailer
· Posting that trailer on Vimeo
· Two Facebook pages
· Listing the books and advertising them on FurnitureFindex
· Listing them on CraigsList
· Posting links on my own web site and my company's web site
· Writing to TV, radio stations and online magazines
· Getting a review in Risingshadow.net
· Donating the books to the Cherry Hill Library and the Rachel Kohl Library in Glen Mills
· Posting them in Google Books
· Getting them listed in Ten Pitches
· Posting every day on Twitter
· "Paying" a guy to post about the book on Twitter by buying his book (sucky) and reading it and writing a review on Amazon, aka quid pro quo
· Email blasts (limited)

I have seen other, suckier books, listed on Wikipedia and it took two months but after three editorial reviews, Rome's Revolution got its own Wikipedia page.

My colleague, Carol, wrote a Wikipedia article about me and my scientific accomplishments and after two months and two more editorial reviews, that got published on Wikipedia as well.

Well, today I woke up and found EVERYTHING had been deleted. One editor decided nothing I ever had done in my life and none of my books, journal articles, discoveries or doctoral dissertation were sufficiently noteworthy to take up the precious space in Wikipedia. I am appealing it but I don't have much hope.

Bottom line: if you read this whole article, please take the time to tell somebody about my books. Nothing else seems to work.

Thank you.
