I've been working on my first novel for the past few months (when done I will make it available for Kindle, Nook, etc.) And I'm still a little nervous about getting it some attention. So, this does ease the nerves a good bit. But like you said, it's all about finding something that works and running with it. Of what I've read on various blogs, I think the most static approach is the Kindleboards!!<br /><br />-K.L. Dillon <br /><br />http://kevinlyledillon.blogspot.comK.L.

As a (wanna-be) author and a (novice) indie publisher, this has been great advice, though a little intimidating as I've never really been active on forums. Good time to start? Yes!

I've only dipped my toes in at Kindleboards, but am going to make more of an effort. <br /><br />I've done a lot of things you've done on FB, and people always ask how I got thousands of connnections and a core group of loyal followers...as if it's magic or something. Being interested and actually interacting with people does the trick...it takes time, but in the long run more "effective" and more rewarding!<br /><br />Keep going.
