No idea. You may want to write to various book reviewers and ask them to review the book. You can join several science fiction book clubs and do it that way. Call the local libraries and ask them if they'll stock the book.

That could work. I was wanting to try to see how the book did on the Amazon ebook store before I moved on, but I guess the best thing right now is to print a few copies and pedal it myself. I just want to sell enough that I feel I have some closure on that project before I seriously work on my next project--an anthology of short stories.

Your price point is way too high for 83 pages. Go .99 or 1.99.

Get some friends to read it and write a review. Also what Tellenbach said.

Ok. How about the name? Did I pick a good one or should I do something like Martian Madroid?

Changing price, now.

Congratulations. Finishing a book is a great achievement. My local library has a catalog of e-books for lending. You might be able to get away with sending them an electronic copy.

"he is thrusted into the role of savior" - better as "he is thrust" Thrust, thrusted - Grammarist

Imma gonna buy this tonight, congratulations on the achievement! :)
Thank you.

Rather than go straight for a sequel, I'm going to try a horror anthology. I'll throw in some literary themes if you want to analyze them, but I'll try not to make them obvious. Truth is, I only have a vague idea for dead red's sequel, and I'm just not in the mood for another half-novel yet.

Can you scrub my name off of the link, at least? I’ve thought about it and I decided to comb back over my history to get rid of as much identifying information as possible.
