More Facebookitude

I'm slowly figuring out this Facebook thing. Gotta say, it's not as intuitive as it could be. Anyhow, I've finally secured a username for my promotional page - the one that hawks my books. 

Tell all your friends, enemies, relatives, acquaintances, and any random strangers you pass on the street to visit me at:

After seeing The Social Network, I'm starting to feel like I sold my soul to the devil just by signing up for Facebook. On the other hand, it does seem to have boosted sales of my ebooks. So on the negative side, there's the prospect of eternal damnation, but on the plus side, there are a few more bucks in my bank account. 

Kind of a draw.

"TP: What has been your strategy for marketing and publicizing your books?

AH: I didn't really have a strategy. I think one of the advantages I have is that stuff considered marketing is stuff that I do a lot anyway. I've been active on social networks and blogs for years.
I also send ARCs [advance review copies] out to book bloggers. Book bloggers are a really amazing community, and they've been tremendously supportive. They've definitely been a major force that got my books on the map.

When I first published, I did do a bit of promoting on the Amazon forums, but they're not really open to that, so I haven't really interacted there much at all in months. I hang out Goodreads, Kindleboards, Facebook, Twitter, and I blog. And that's about it."

Look at the Middle East. All people being connected to one another spurs about interesting change, and it almost seems, sort of, kind of, spiritual.
