Hi Tim,
Let's look at each other's sites and see if it'll work for both of us. www.FionaIngram.com

For those who haven't heard of my standing offer I would like to reiterate it here...

Any published author with a working web site who would like to exchange links (I post your link on my site and you post mine on yours) please let me know.

This is a great (and free) way to promote each other and make some new friends.

Where are your books available for purchase? Amazon? That's great but are you lost among the hundreds of millions of books there? And, Amazon takes such a large chunk of your book sales. Fine, if you do not have a way of selling on your site, and fulfilling your own orders.

What about your own web site?
Do you have a great web site?
How many people know where you are?
Is your site SEO (search engine optimized?)

The truth is, it is often better to be a big fish in a small...you know the saying. That's especially true if the idea is to be caught.


We recently announced the launch of our iFOGO Village Bookstore. (iFOGO Books) We begin humbly but uniquely. Some say our developing format is like "Ebay for Books." Perhaps a perfect description.
*Books there are linked to the author's Amazon, and/or the iFOGO.com/iFOGO Village sites or the author's site; and are displayed in a manner that engage the reader.
*Large images appear when thumbnails in the sidebar are clicked.
*The author's name appears in the sidebar and is linked to the author's site presence,
*What's more, all books are/or will soon be searchable by title and author's name.

THE ADVANTAGES ARE CLEAR
Placement in the Village BookStore will
*Heighten visibility and salability of each title;
*There is no percentage sales cost to authors,
*And authors in the bookstore will be part of a permanently featured group.

Additionally, our iFOGO.com main page will begin featuring books from authors in the BookStore.

So, take a good look, and decide to become a part of our Village BookStore.

I released my first novel on August, 2009.
Title: Fawcetta: Voices and Echoes of the Coliseum Volume I

About the book:
They say dreams are for those who feel the need to be a part of something bigger. They say fantasies exist in the minds of those who are free spirited. They say illusion is what every man carries through his life until death opens his eyes.

Everyone feels the need to get away from their own lives where predictability and monotony threaten to crush their spirits. They long to escape to a place where life keeps them on their toes and the risk of losing everything is always just around the corner.

This story, which has been buried and forgotten in the waters and sands of time, has no boundaries, no safe havens. Fawcetta is a world of mystery, drama, deceit, romance, and is filled with action and adventure. The emperor of Fawcetta struggles to hold not only his empire together, but also his family. No one suspects they are being purposefully manipulated and deceived by one power-hungry man. Anger divides children from parents, loss and betrayal spurring vengeance and hatred. The fat of the once peaceful paradise is placed in the hands of a young Guardian named Kaina. She must find a way to find her soul-mate in order to open the one gate that will save their beloved planet from falling into total darkness. Othewise, Fawcetta’s days are numbered.

It is available from following websites:
Amazon.com, Authorhouse.com, Barnsandnoble.com and Borders.com

I would like to invite everyone to visit my site A Book and A Dish http://marthaskitchenkorner.blogspot.com
The site is made up of books I've reviewed and the Author's favorite recipes. It brings the book and the cook together.

Hello everyone. My author website www.FionaIngram.com is ready for visitors.
Eliza Earsman Comment by Eliza Earsman on October 28, 2009 at 5:06pm
The books on my site www.elizaearsman.com are authenticated and urgent – see e.g. PRESS RELEASE and UNEDITED author interview.

The details in these books affect us all!

Would you be prepared to take some of these books (20+ copies) when you attend Book Fairs/Expos/garden parties etc? Would you be prepared approach your local bookstores? In short would you like to earn 50% commission? The books are mailed from the US. so at this time the request is to the USA/Canada.

The books have supporting material e.g. www.elizaearsman.com and good search engine results/author interviews. The PRESS RELEASE for example can be printed/photocopied and inserted before the first pages. FLIERS can be sent by MS Word doc. and printed.

*Days of Elijah (Revised and Expanded): A True Story is presently No. 15 of the Top 50 non-fiction books via Black Christian Independent Booksellers*.

If you are interested please get back to me. Payment can be made AFTER sale/s.

I look forward to hearing from you. Remember: 50% is a large whack.

Have a great day.

Eliza.
