Great piece! This advice is gold dust and it has illuminated the process for me completely. When I do eventually write my first book, I’ll be coming back to this piece

Stop doing this, James!! I’m getting over stimulated….!! What excuses can I now find to get off my fat mind and start doing…?! OK, none. Got to get on with it I suppose. Still, at least that makes my 500 for today..! Thanks. Steve

Don’t bother is my advice, for what it’s worth; be the best goddam writer there is and the blurbs will arrive sooner or later. Relying on famous people to big you up is a rather dubious conceit.

I love all the people commenting here – they are appreciative, honest, creative, almost equally as overwhelmed as me but maybe over different issues, and I feel like I’ve found a home among both YOU, James, and your commenters/followers. Thank you, even though I’ve broken a sweat and my heart is beating faster over these next hoops I must jump through like a circus poodle!

My second edition is just now on Amazon Createspace. First edition in 07 came through Authorhouse because I didn’t know any better. After reading this article, I think I need to start smoking cigarettes and will buy a pack of American Spirits. My first edition DID get included in Wikipedia Travelogue section on Che Guevara’s life. Also with THIS edition, as an inspired musician, I have 7 tracks of “Mantra Music” on ReverbNation that are topping the charts in the spiritual music genre locally, nationally and globally and am going to offer a free download of one of my songs with the purchase of the book. It’s on Kindle as well. I have no fears of public speaking. Although my book, THE CHE DIARIES is on an obscure, seemingly paranormal experience resulting in the spiritual expansion of ME, my platform is to inspire and uplift all us middle aged folks who’s kids are grown and they gave up on whatever their passions were, or forgot about them totally. I have the coolest website promoting and showcasing all the arts I am involved with. It’s not that I’m ADD/OCD and high spectrum autistic (no wait, I AM all these things!!!!) …. I can’t help it…..I breath, therefore I am inspired and create!!!! I am overwhelmed at all these expensive hoops I am yet to jump through……..S.O.S.H.E.L.P.

The most important decision you can make is your book’s cover. I have a fantastic cover on my book “I’m a Type A — How the Heck Will I Ever Retire?” and I have had strong sales ever since it came out. Also, I have a great author’s website, mine is really unique and I get hundreds of hits on it every day! I used a great indie designer called DesignbyIndigo and she did all of my book design and website. It kicks ass!
