Hi
My Name is George Cole. I recently published my first book, "Colt O'Brien Sees the Light".  I self-published for those who want to compare notes on that.  Also I published an E-Book separately. I belong to a writers group of about 8 people.  I have found it invaluable for moral support and positive input. I am now writing my second book. The working title is "Colt Goes to College". As with so many writers, I am now dealing with the marketing end of things. Not exactly my favorite activity, but I see no way to avoid it and have any kind of success.  I am reading John Kremer's book "1001 Ways to Market Your Books".  I am a skeptic on these kinds of books but I find helpful information every time I open it. Things I am doing to get the word out. 
1. Requesting and sending books for reviews.
2. Joining social networking groups.
3. Getting written up on blogs
4. Advertising ( moving slowly on this)
5. Web site.

My experience with paid advertising is "nil." The big guys buy television time these days. What mid-list author can compete with that?

The people I know with the greatest success are those that get out in public, a lot; and have a talk that leads to sales of their books. Good luck.
