It's finally official! Last week I published my first book The Ending Dark on amazon. You can find my author page at www.amazon.com/author/jenwalker. It's very exciting, but as I am quickly finding out now comes a whole lot more work promoting the book. In a lot of ways I have a feeling at promoting the book is going to be more work than actually writing it.
You have to find ways to get your name out into the world but not push your book all the time. I think one of the keys to doing that is to think like the audience. I know it annoys me when people only want to talk about their product/book. So I have to remember that when I do the same thing others will also find it annoying.
One thing I do wish is that I had started earlier with some if the ideas I am trying to implement. Part of the reason it's so overwhelming now is that I should have been doing a lot of these promotion things weeks/months ago. So my goals right now are to keep up with twitter (@jenwalkerwrites), write more frequent blog posts, comment on discussion boards, and somehow find the time to write another book. Wish me luck!
