Where? I just checked your Profile, I figured you might have your own website or even links to your books. Nothing. Your avatar isnt even a book that you made. Simple things like that could up your sales, IMHO.

Thats one out of how many people? And how many years did she spend broke before she made it big?

A very good point. Not only is it free publicity but its also saying that someone knows of you and likes your writing that much.

I was thinking that too, the minute I saw his post about giving up. Im all for buying cheap books. I buy Imogen Rose just because shes cheap. I read a few pages of Portal and loved it but havent finished yet. Even so, I went out and bought two more of her books just because they were cheap. She also does alot of advertising. I dont see any of that from him but Im willing to admit Im wrong. However I have yet to find anything proving me wrong.
