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.

I'm sorry, but I am compelled to give you another "Shameless Promotion," due to your creative post, listed above my paragraph.
