Well, I can't tell you how many books Salt Publishing has been midwife to, over the years. A lot.
And it is extraordinary, extraordinary...to see that there are a few familiar books in their All-Time Bestseller list, posted this week on their website.

More endorsements, more postcards, my webpage
The postcards in Christmas cards was a good idea. Now, whenever I see friends, it is they who start the conversations...
"Thanks for the card... the book looks great... love the cover... what's this, a book!...tell me about it... etc etc
and in the jeans pocket are a few more cards. So if there's someone in on the chat who wasn't on my Christmas card list, I can hand them one legitimately!
I had some more endorsements, and they are lovely. One says I have 'the heart and soul of a writer'...
Salt have put my webpage up, detailing the stories in the collection (needs a bit of revision) and my bio.
But most important, for this writer at least, my endorsements.

Starting the Marketing Process
It is hard to think of Glass Bubble as a commodity, but that is what it is, and it has to be marketed like any other.
It is actually hard, this bit. Certainly, I do not find it easy to blow my own trumpet, and that is what is necessary now. And perhaps it might be useful to others to see what I am doing. Who knows the process mght result in half a dozen books being read and sold. But I hope it might have better results than that.
So... the next few posts will be dedicated to things I am doing to market the book.
