On Marketing...

Well, my book's been out there a while... You can find it all over the World Wide Web... in almost every online bookstore...

I've exhausted all traditional bookstores in my area, there aren't any more who's willing to sell my book. Truth be told, the market for English language books is not that great here. (Maybe I should do the translation and see if any Norwegian publishers are interested. Ah, too much work...)

I'd love to somehow be able to market my book in the US, but I don't know how. I believe I could probably sell a lot more books there...but who knows.

And professional marketing cost money, which I don't have.

I've spent hours online finding places to post a few words about my book. A lot of work and I honestly don't see it helping much. But I keep on doing it, because it's free.

So, how do I make people aware? How do I make them want to buy my book?

I've been featured in a couple of newspapers, which probably helped with making the local bookstores wanting to sell my book.

I live on in the hope that my work will pay off, and that some huge book store or chain start selling my book in the US....

I wish....
