No trade publicity, no Sites like Facebook or Twitter - I did all of that. I concluded that as it was myself doing all of the work I would be far better off going it alone as an indie. A decision I don't regret. :)Jack Easonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601041734648407356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467655459270193654.post-49003566854703637002012-03-19T08:20:11.652-05:002012-03-19T08:20:11.652-05:00Writers are typically introverts who are big on id...Writers are typically introverts who are big on ideas and small on action unless it is on a printed page.

By the time I parted company with them earlier this month, OT had shifted just over 700 copies, 600 of them in a four day free give away period last month. So, even if you use a publisher, there are no guarantees. :)Jack Easonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601041734648407356noreply@blogger.com
