Hi, I hope to get back to doing book reviews at some point, because I can’t do them right now because I’m reading so many books as a Hammett Award screener that—and I can’t talk about any of them, of course—that it’s very hard for me to get to any other books, but I’m managing somehow to do that.

Hi! I’m going to talk today about ways to market your work that you might not have thought about. And I don’t know if you’re familiar with the fact that Amazon has all these additional categories that your book can get placed in. I figured I would give that a try and let you know how that worked.

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
