Thanks Rainbow689, I'll see if I can clear things up a bit.
The discover Books and Music web site, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] as well as the book store in the virtual world Prototerra, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] are both still being set up so they may be a bit messy at the moment.
My plan is for the long term so I'm offering one full year free in both locations to help promote the book store in the virtual world as well.
If you go to the virtual world Prototerra web site there is a download and you sign up and choose a name then go into the virtual world. You will have your own avatar which is a cartoon-like character that you use to walk around in the Prototerra. It moves easily with your mouse or keyboard.
I have a sign on a wall when you first go in that tells you how to find the book store. Go to the book store and there is sign to click on and it takes you to the regular web site and from there send me an email with your avatar name and i will respond.
For now, pictures of your books will be displayed in the book store and on the web site you will have your own page. Each picture will have a link to anywhere you want, wherever your books are available to buy or your own web site. In the near future i will be set up to allow the sales of E-books directly through both the store and the web site.All of this is free for one full year and it's a great way to help each other. I get to promote my store and web site and you gain added exposure for your books. It's a win-win with no down side.
When the E-book sale option is online there will be a small handling fee for that.
Prototerra is a PG14 world and there are a lot of fun things to do there. Once the population grows I will be setting up interviews with author's in the world and we can arrange book signings as well. You are welcome to come into the virtual book store at any time to discuss and promote your books. I have lots of great events planned for all the authors who want to participate.
I hope that helps and if anyone has any questions please e-mail me at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
I also wanted to say thank you again to Shelagh for letting me post this in here. I did an interview with her for a newspaper i owned and got a lot of great feedback from readers about it.

I sold the newspaper because advertising dollars were getting too hard to get in the economy. Even the major newspaper people I've been speaking to have been struggling. But it's still in my blood I guess because I started an online newspaper based for and about the VIrtual World, Prototerra. Once things get going part of my plans include doing interviews with authors again like I used to in the Gazette. I'll be focusing on the authors in my store especially.
The newspaper isnt much to look at yet but it has some things on it now if you'd like to check it out including a 1 minute video comedy I made. I've been doing some film making and this is the first one i'm aware of that combined real life with a character from the virtual world. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Dan, this is an interesting concept, and I will be watching as you work on it. Let us know when you make additions and changes, will you?

I"ll be happy to give updates. I have a lot of things planned as the virtual world and the web site grow. The authors events should be a lot of fun.
I'm hoping to do live on the air interviews using messenger services that have voice like MSN, SKYPE and Yahoo either video or audio depending on the authors computers. Book readings as well as signings and lots more.
Everyone who has their books in the virtual store will be given an opportunity to participate. The big thing right now is generating use of the world.

Back in England many moons ago I used to run sales teams selling
advertising in official yearbooks for various organisations, as you say
advertising money is getting harder to get in the printed world, glad
I'm in at the beginning afro
