How to help out an Indie Author (i.e. ME!) :)
Hi! Here are some great ways to help out your favorite Indie Author (and/or
me
). Only the first option involves spending money, so you can actually have quite a positive impact without expense!
First and foremost, you can buy the book in Paperback or eBook.
This obviously helps me out because I earn royalties on the purchase, and thus it is ultimately my livelihood. It doesn't really matter which format you purchase, as I recieve a comparable royalty on each (even though the paperback is significantly more expensive - I don't see much of that extra money, myself).
Buy the paperback on Amazon.com: http://amzn.com/0988852012
Buy the Kindle version on Amazon.com: http://amzn.com/B00D0TFNZK
(If you do buy a copy, and read it, and enjoy it, please do not underestimate the value of a good honest review/rating on Amazon.com and GoodReads . Even a less postive review can have a net positive effect if it is informative and helps readers determine if the book is for them.)
You can also ask about In Siege of Daylight at your local bookstore (the book is/will be available via mainstream distribution channels, although I doubt it will be stocked unless there is local demand or it sees great success online). Ordering the book is also nice, but creating awareness is a step in the right direction.
Social Media!
This is really important to us little folk in the publishing world, because we don't have a $5k/month advertising budget, travel budget, book tours, or promotional goodies provided to us. It's all out of our pocket. So here are some NO COST options to show some love:

SHARE, SHARE, SHARE with friends, co-workers, colleagues, traffic cops, etc. etc. This is one instance where "viral" is a good word. Word of mouth can really help, and a few clicks can go a long, long way.
Although I selfishly used myself and my links as an example, the same formula is applicable to any writer trying to make it without the support of the Big Six. Your support is greatly appreciated, in any way you choose to show it.
Cheers,
Greg
