Selene asked Charlaine Harris:

Hi, Charlaine! I'm a huge fan of your saga :) I'm also a writer and I am about to publish my first book by myself as ebook. Still, I know readers don't appear magically so, what advices can you give me so I can spread the word about my work?

Charlaine Harris Be accessible to readers -- not to the point of cutting into your working time, though. Establish a presence on Facebook and on Goodreads. Try to line up some guest blog spots on established blogs that feature writers in your genre. Use all the electronic media you can, so I hope you are smarter than I am when it comes to reaching out online. Still, your best selling tool is word-of-mouth, so hope that some readers are excited enough about your book to post positive reviews.
