On the e-publishing of Ready or Not.
Sales: The illustration summarizes them. Downloads: 9 sales, 105 downloads (free promotion).
Reviews: Three wonderful ones here.
Lesson: Don’t depend on give-aways promoted to relatives, friends, and co-workers to garner much in the way of on-line interest. For that matter, don’t expect the same to be in any hurry to actually read the book! I have confirmation of only three people who have done so. (Thanks, reviewers!)
Action: Begin to market the book to agents who accept digital portions. Thanks to leads provided by author Wendy L. Callahan, I have a plentiful list of above-board agents available at AAR, or The Association of Authors’ Representatives. The process is begun.

You may also consider some Blogwhoring! If your blog is going to push your book, push your blog. Set-up & connect to twitter & a facebook page and spend some hours finding and commenting on bloggers who may be interested.
(you may have noticed certain bloggers “like” practically every post on WordPress – I doubt they read any of them. While I’m personally against this – if you genuinely read the about page or a post or two and feel there’s common ground – use your platform – comment & like – write more posts!)
ABove all, be patient – your book is on sale for the rest of time!
Thanks, RoS, for your advice and the link. You’re a jewel.
