    Head Above Water- a novel

    Hey everyone. I have a novel coming out in January and just launched the facebook page for it. Just wanted to let y'all know that I would appreciate some BBB support. Happy New Years Eve!

    Yep. I looked for an agent for about 6 months before I figured out that if I build a following and sell a few copies myself first, it might be easier to get represented. It's worked for a few other authors in the same genre as my book, so it's worth a shot. Better than letting this thing collect dust on my shelf at least.

    If you don't mind...

    Who'd you use to print copies, etc? Cost? How many copies? Does it include any marketing on their part?

    And!

    How do I get an autographed copy of your book!?

    From the facebok page, it looks like it's digital only right now.

    I don't mind at all, but it is digital only right now. If I do offer print copies down the road, I'll use Amazon's Create Space. It's print-on-demand and requires no money up-front. Doing all the marketing myself. I'll take out some ads on facebook, reddit, etc. soon and see if that helps fuel sales any.

    Please keep us apprised. I'm old fashioned...like holding a book. That's not to say I won't do the Kendal thingy....or more accurately, my wife will! I can borrow hers.

    Best of luck to you! Hope it works out well.
