I’ve tried so many places lately – spent way too
much money – and have been disappointed. Which isn’t to say my offer won’t disappoint
too. Let’s face it – some books are more popular than others. I’ve had some
authors return many times and others who obviously weren’t satisfied because
they didn’t come back.

**As you can see, we have spots for a new a release;
it’s more of an exposure kind of promotion because we don’t expect authors to
place a new book in a sale category. We don’t show the price but the links to
the books are there in case the readers want to follow up and buy them.
