I've often wondered if it was because it was marketed as women's fiction, that perhaps I'd broken some unspoken rule. But after reading about your experiences I'm forced to reconsider.

Marion, the sales ranking at Amazon is a little wonky. I don't completely understand how it works myself. But I can account for my sales numbers and can tell you that it's real readers who are buying my book. I attribute any success I've had (and I do use that term loosely) to [...]

Authors can't, for example, only Tweet about their books, writing, etc anymore. Same with Facebook status updates. We have to use those forums [...]

I began by giving my book away (it's actually still available for free). I felt it was the best way to get readers to take a chance on an unknown, self-publishing author. It worked, and started generating a little buzz for the book. I experimented with pricing when I put it up on Kindle, [...]

A great number of the authors listed are very active members of the Kindle message boards. They're willing to go directly to the reader and not just sell themselves and their books, but are actually interacting with the [...]

Esther Newberg opened up BEA with this: "I'm scared to death. One of the only good things about being old is that I'm not going to have to deal with this for long." Why would anyone want to throw their hat into [...]

“All that I know is that my character just had an affair with her boss and I’m a little disappointed in her.”
That is awesome. Keep up the good work.

I can trace several sales to Twitter. Not because of direct marketing, but because of “conversations” I’ve had there. People tend to treat marketing as spam there, and I don’t blame them.
