Purgatorial Rambling

During my action/adventure journey of self-published novel promotion, which is thus far far from a happy ending and probably situated in a pit of uninterested snakes (to make a warped comparison between self-promotion and Raiders of the Lost Ark, because I'm quirky like that...)

James Darren bring your book out in paperback form so I can read it! This is a friendly request. Much love. LJD.


message 3: by Katy

Katy Thanks for the friend request!

Just to warn you, since it is extremely illogical, but in order to "respond" to a comment on your profile, you need to go and respond on the profile of whomever left you a comment. Goodreads does not notify anyone else of a comment left on your profile, so if you respond here, whomever you are responding to will not see the post. It took me well over a year to figure this out, thought I'd save you some time! :-)

Best wishes!

Look forward to it!

Mary King Darren, thank you for the "like" of Fool Me Once and my work in progress, Beatrice. I am a relatively new self published/Indie author therefore still struggling and trying to figure out the world of an author. As soon as I post this I am going to log on to the 'Self-Published and Indie Authors, Promote yourself here' and check it out. Talk to you soon!
