As a writer I’ve learned a lot about marketing and where books sell and don’t. Before I published my first book I had never heard of many of these sites. As just a reader I was aware of Amazon and Barnes & Nobles and places like that. Now that I’ve done research it’s amazing how many are out there. Here are some of the places I’ve found and how I’ve done with these. E-book Sites: 1: Amazon: This was the first place I put my books.

We can’t stop it. So we need to find inventive and attractive ways to work around it.’. I have to say, I couldn’t agree more. Theft and/or piracy have been around for a long, long time. Since time immemorial, people have had to come up with ways of engaging the legitimate buyer and enticing them to purchase their product or service at market value, rather than through theft. Yes, there have always been those who have sought ways to steal rather than purchase, but I believe most people would rather be honest and do the right thing. She also mentions that authors themselves have a vested interest in connecting with readers and thereby thwarting the pirates. Lovely as the vision is of...
