Hi David - welcome.

I believe you can have a separate post per book that you'd like to promote and have a few specifics for each including cover art. Always a good way to get your point across.

Then, with each as a separate thread per book it allows you to post updates - like new reviews you'd like to highlight, price changes and other promotions.

Having all your works in one thread might make your promotions a bit more painful to the reader.

EDIT: Also might be good to have links to your author page/website in your signature and in your profile so it's much easier for people to navigate to your work.

PS - downloaded Blackbird. Not sure when I'll get to it, especially as I'm not so much an historical fiction buff, but it looks like an interesting setting.

Thanks for the info and thanks for downloading Blackbird. I hope you enjoy it. You may find it a little different from most historical stories.

Hi David welcome to MobileRead. Blackbird does look interesting. I too have downloaded a copy. Adventure stories are always fun I think, and for me this one has the added fun of having been published on my birthday. lol. A coincidence I know, but interesting.
