David Maxwell asked Kendare Blake:

Hi Kindare, I noticed from one of your answer that your characters "go" and you "follow." I find it the same. My characters lead me down a path and I follow. As a newly published author, I'd love any advice you might have on how to go about sharing those stories with the masses. Can you offer any insight on how to get the word out for a new book?

Kendare Blake Oy, the masses. They are hard to reach, those masses. And I'm afraid I have very little advice. But here goes. Talk to your publisher. Go to them with specific ideas. You never know what they might be willing to do to help! Talk with other writers in your genre. And instead of trying to lasso the masses, think about a smaller target. Find some good blogs that capture that target, and reach out! No matter what happens, you'll meet some great people.
