Should your book marketing only cater to them? - of course not. Is it worth spending lots of time in Prius forums trying to get the book noticed? Probably not. But it might be worth tagging your book with it (a guy on another forum found his book sales went up after someone tagged it tron). Or finding a bunch of Prius obsessives and asking them to read that chapter to see if you got the description right.
I guess it is about being open to the possibilities. And your mention of a Prius in medieval times has got me sufficiently intrigued to download your book and add it to my reading list. So how do I find your book again?

I have to admit your books look really good (and you have some brilliant reviews). |
Interesting advice. If only the Prius had a bigger role in the first book. It mainly figures into Book #2.
I went from driving a Jeep Cherokee to a Prius, so part of my Prius narrative regards its inadequacy as an off-road vehicle, though it does better on the ground clearance front once certain parts fall off (like the front end air dams).
My lead character does yearn for a Toyota LandCruiser, though, in Book 1.
I suppose I could go after the AK-47 aficionado market as well, as these figure into the story almost as much as the Prius.
Thanks for downloading. I hope you enjoy them.
