Well, what can I say? It is done, and it's too late to do anything. Well, at least, the owner of Black Rose did a good job of editing & formating the book & he is very helpful in responding to my questions and requests.

My question now, let's forget about the publisher, is how to promote it as a self-published book.

These are what I have done so far:
1- build my own website with a blog, a Q & A, & other stuffs
2- self-publish the ebook on PubIt (Barnes & Noble) & Smashwords (and have two copies sold, :-D)
3- post free excerpt, free giveaway of the whole ebook (weird! not as many requests as I would expect)
4- sign up for 4-5 book conventions/shows locally and nationally
5- Sign up on goodreads.com (free), facebook(free), twitter (free)
6. Setup amazon.com author's page

And what I am going to do:
1- Hire the experienced publicist from Chicago
2- Continue to join as many bookclubs/book sites/social network as my time allows (LOL! I'm glad that I still have my day job)

Is there anything else I should do?

Thanks
