"Should have" is the operative phrase; because, as I said, no one is sharing, and I'm not building that audience.
Is it the subject? Is it me? I don't know... probably both. No one considers me, a PhD-free son of government workers, an authority on matters scientific... and most people are shying away from serious science and SF in favor of zombies, transformers and Aliens.
Bottom line, nothing in these social media sites is convincing people to check out my books, or tell anyone else about them. It's a lot like when I go to a party, and no one wants to talk about environmental issues or building an edition to my house, but mention the playoffs (of any sport) and they'll talk for hours...
So, social media has been a complete bust for me... about as useful to my selling efforts as crabs. I need something better... something that actually attracts customers.
