Here's the thing.
I've come to the conclusion that my books want no shameless self-promotion on my part.
In fact, my books are very embarrassed by my acts of shameless self-promotion.
What my books want, instead, are to be discovered by a BIG PUBLISHER who's convinced they are destined to become HOT SELLERS -- make that BEST SELLERS-- and thus willing to spend unlimited amount of advertising dollars promoting them the RIGHT WAY.
Or--and this would work, too--my books would like to be discovered by a BIG MOVIE PRODUCER who will ensure that they are made into critically acclaimed movies that do boffo box office business and win Oscars. Of course, I will have final say over casting decisions. And it goes without saying that my books (and their author) will be mentioned glowingly in sll acceptance speeches.
My books also wouldn't mind if a gazillion readers spontaneously decided to purchase, read and LOVE them.
So, as a sensitive and serious writer, I have hereby decided to respect my books' feelings, and will immediately cease and desist all acts of shameless promotion.
Thank you for your support.
