That's fine with me, I'm learning a lot and meeting people. I just picked up 2 more interviews in the last week and I have an interview being posted tomorrow that I did for someone's blog. She's also putting up one of my videos from my website! Good luck and let me know if you need anything.Brian T Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05281124437996627298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190740108929404094.post-67034402567126576212012-06-22T23:05:44.255-07:002012-06-22T23:05:44.255-07:00Hi Brian, I just wanted to check out your blog as ...Hi Brian, I just wanted to check out your blog as your suggested and yes, I agree with all that you have written. It is a really tough job to promote your book. But you do have an advantage now. You are more prepared, you have a blog, a twitter site I'm sure, at least you are kind of ready. And you have the double edged sword with your writing and your comedy so I think you are going to do great. Have you thought about hiring a PR. person for a few weeks? That really helped me. Anyway my friend, I wish you all the luck in the world, Mary FirminMary Firminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133753092389381617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5190740108929404094.post-16912599477438896612012-06-11T09:42:46.258-07:002012-06-11T09:42:46.258-07:00Thanks Esme.

I have done all mine, but I am a trained artist of long standing - whatever that means, but not trained in graphic art. I resonate too v much with your experience re self-publishing. The few people who have read my books rate them as 'amazing and brilliant' but try getting them out there! to a larger public. Good luck to us all.
