writer intro
Hi All
I am very new here so I hope I am following correct protocol. I am an avid reader and also a published writer. My first book, To Catch A Cop is a mystery-romance. Okay, truth, I thought I was writing a romance but all the reviews consistently tagged it a mystery with romantic elements. Since I had never intended to do anything with this book (it was a practice novel) I didn't care, was just happy to have it published and get good reviews.
You can find it on Amazon. The second book in the series has been submitted to my publisher so I hope that will be out this year.Lookng forward to hearing from you.

Here is some free advice:

1) Download Calibre and translate your book into various different formats such as epub and PDF format and make those versions available on your web site for sale. Troubble with Amazon is that they will resel your novel in Kindle format only, by doing the translations you make your books available to a wider audiance than would otherwise be possible. There is software available that will sell the electronic book for you.

2) Talk about your books on these forums from the perspective of someone is walking into a room and meeting your book characters at the start of the book in such a way as that it sets up the books. For example an author who writes in the Mack Bolan series of books might talk about Mack and his friends and what the are like and give a little background about Mack and why he is doing what he is in the novels.
