I enjoy writing The World of Hek series, showing how a simple wish can go horribly wrong (when granted by a devious but fun-loving demon of unknown origins). As a family man and a teacher, however, time is extremely too short to really excell in my publishing ventures. I find myself writing whenever I get the chance (mostly in the summer) but lack the time especially for marketing. What works the best for the rest of you busy authors out there? How do you get word of your book to the general public? Oh, and of course, The World of Hek series and The Curse of the Translucent Monster is available everywhere books are sold and both have facebook pages (and need more likes).
