Of course, I have digressed from my original post, of how to go about publicizing my book.
Well over 100,000 books are published each year. With bookstores jammed from floor to ceiling it seems the odds are stacked against the author’s book becoming that longed for Best-Seller.
How do you get word out that you have written a book? That it’s a great book and entertaining and people will love it?
The first piece of advice I received was to join face-book. That led to me ranting about the surveillance society.
I then started to hear about “Twitter”. It seemed that everywhere I went the word would pop up and every newspaper I picked up had some mention of “Twitter”.
I decided to go on-line and have a look. Find out what it was all about. I opened a "Twitter" account and that was as far as I got. In fact, I forgot all about it.
That is until two days later when I checked my emails.
DowningStreet is now following you on Twitter!
