Hi, everyone, I started two new threads, per a suggestion by someone that made good sense to me. The titles should be self-explanatory.

That e-mail address I gave you is my personal e-mail. Just send me an e-mail from your e-mail account. That way, we are able to talk to each other.

Great looking shop, Nel...of course, I would have expected no less :-)
Mod
Nice to have you aboard, Eamonn. I can tell you that the folks here with us are some of the best authors and friends a writer can have. I count myself fortunate :-)

Well, How old are you? lol I kept standing up while I was reading because there was so much action, it felt like I should be doing something!
LOL, Sandy. You floored me with that comment. AS for cardiac arrest, I hope my heart is strong enough at 39 yeas of age. LOL

Who knows how far those 73 books may reach in terms of developing interest in other readers?
Tim wrote: "Looks like we're taking chances with our health, Norma. I can already tell it's going to be a helluva good story :-)"My, oh my! I guess I'll brace myself for the upcoming ride.
Sharon wrote: "Hi, everyone, I started two new threads, per a suggestion by someone that made good sense to me. The titles should be self-explanatory."Saw the threads and added my two cents to the mix.
For those that don't know how to view the other threads in a discussion group...the easiest way is to scroll up to the top...click on the group name (usually in green and when you hover over it the underline will appear)then it will show all the threads posted under it. click on the thread that interests you.
Great job Sharon. When I'm a little more awake I might start a couple more threads but don't hold me to anything. :)

Wow, you guys were gabby after I left yesterday! Good to see the group take off so quickly. I think I caught all the new threads and responded.And thanks to all of you for your kind remarks about M.O.D.. You don't have any idea how much my son enjoys hearing that!!!

Good! I had no idea about this. Thanks.
Wow! just got another 5-star review to Eco Station One... now, if I could get a couple more of thse here on GR, I'd be able to star a neat advertising campaign I have in mind for this book :P
Sandy wrote: "Good Sunday morning, everyone."Howdy, Sandy... heard you have a very neat blog. Mind to add me in your interview queue?
Congratz, Edwin!! Hope things continue to look up for you. (I still owe you a review too - trying to do that this week).
I spent some time with a couple of great authors at an event this weekend. Mystery writer P.R.Leonard was one of them and we got into the discussion on the usefullness of hiring an agent at this time in our careers.P.R. has two books out by a very small press and working on a third and I have one book out in my series and a second on the way. Both of us have a very competent publisher and wonder if an agent helping us get a new publisher would even be a benefit in today's publishing climate with all the access we have to the market these days.
We are leaning towards not needing an agent since they wouldn't bring much to the table unless our current novels took off and a big publisher wanted to dump a lot of money into our future(not a very likely possibility).
What do you think?

Mod
Congrats, Edwin. Your novel is on my TBR list (maybe about two books away), so expect another review in about 2 to 3 weeks :-)
Mod
Hi, Craig. I had two well-known NY agents over a span of several years...and I did get a Random House offer (which I turned down when they recinded and lowered the offer price) and had a book pending at Hallmark Studios (Greg Kinnear was looking at the starring role). Today, I do wonder if agent marketing guidance would be helpful but the days of agents finding big contracts for unknown authors seems almost gone.
However, I'm sure we would all like to learn more if you do :-)
Mod
Good morning everyone! Sounds like I'm in august company! I have tried to find an agent, but no one responded to my call. So, I'm just glad that an Indy publisher was interested enough to sponsor my work. Maybe (in my fondest dreams, anyway) some agent will call me with an offer I can't refuse! LOL! Have a great day, all of you. Nel

Thanks.
Hello, I am Kellianne Sweeney and I just self published my first novel "The One That Got Away" this past June. I am new to almost everything! I am here because I met Tim on twitter and I am his latest interview on his Author Interview blog. He suggested that I come over here and meet you all. It is a pleasure and I look forward to getting to know all of you!
Folks, I'm not sure how you will take this, considering that John Locke is a well known author and sells an enormous amount of books each day. However, I did write a blog after reading his book about how he sold 1 million ebooks in 5 months and I'm telling you that the guy has some good ideas. He's successful because he reaches out to people, one by one, and makes an impact upon the lives of his target audience.Here is a link to my blog and you can determine whether or not you want to give this book a shot:
Imagine Selling 1 Million eBooks in 5 Months.
I will add that, even now - just a few days after publishing the blog - I'm noticing some of John Locke's Twitter fans are beginning to follow me as well. I presume they are finding something of interest.
Furthermore, I'm not sure how many members of this group are familiar with hash tags on Twitter. Simply put, at the end of my tweet for my John Locke blog, I entered #johnlocke. Now, when people search for John Locke on Twitter, my tweet will be somewhere in the list.
Also, take a look at the list of people you are following on Twitter. Check each one and, regardless of who they are, if they have not tweeted for more than 3 months, unfollow them. The tweets being sent in their direction are a waste of time.
One more thing: don't go big on promotion if you only have 1 book for sale. Give possible readers at least 2 to 3 titles so they have something more to read immediately. If they have to wait a period of months, they may forget all about you.
I discovered this situation, firsthand, a couple days ago. A lady bought my book and can't wait for the next book to come out so I'm hoping to have it released in November instead of December.
These are just a few tips to get you started and I was introduced to each one by John Locke. really - for the sake of the $2.99 Kindle fee the book costs on Amazon, it is definitely worth your while.
