I have a publisher who is avoiding payment. They do not respond on questions about payment, selling, give false invoices, explaining some nonsense about being hacked etc. It is not happening only to…Continue

Do you feel that you provoke interest with you work on different social media?
Are you interested in other's work, videos, photos, work, or you use the social media only to promote yourself? How many lasting friendship have you build last year?

Your book sounds very interesting. Seems like there would be a big niche market for such a book.
You asked if I did some special promoting to get my book listed in the top 100 in the Kindle sales or if it was just a natural process. Actually it was some of both. For the first year and a half it was only available in paperback. The paperback edition sold pretty well for a debut novel but the retail price is a little too expensive for a lot of people. So I had it converted into the electronic format for the Kindle device. That way I could set a much lower retail price. I decided to price it at $4.95. So now it's available as a paperback and as a Kindle book. The Kindle edition is now outselling the paperback.
As far as my promotion efforts go, I wouldn't say I did any "special" promotions but I did (and continue to do) a lot of promotion on internet sites – much the same as you've done here on this site. It's a time consuming task and you need to be persistent about it. There is a lot of competition with so many thousands (millions?) of books out there. It's tough for a new book to get noticed but it can be done. :-)
I have had one thing in my favor. My book deals in part with the approaching end of the ancient Mayan calendar in the year 2012. That is a very popular topic these days so that fact helps attract attention from people who are fascinated by the subject.
I really wish you tremendous success with your book. Like I said, I think there must be a huge niche market for a book like that. I know there is a big market in the U.S. for books that are categorized as "Paranormal Romance". Your book seems like it just might be of interest to all the people who enjoy that genre.
Thanks for the friend invite. The cover of your book has a terrific ethereal quality about it. Cool image. Nice videos, too. Is the story sort of an adventure/romance combo?
Is it available on Kindle? Not that I have a Kindle. LOL! Just curious. Having the book on Kindle is proving to be a good way to increase sales.
Best regards,
