Bad Book Publicity

[jimhines]

I’ll probably be talking about book-release stuff next week when Mermaid’s Madness comes out, which got me thinking about some of the really bad publicity strategies for authors.

I’m not claiming to be perfect.  In the past five years, I’ve tried any number of things to promote my work that make me wince to think about ‘em now.  Bad home-printed

Hey Jim -- Did I mention I have a new book coming out soon?

[jimhines]

Yeah, but you can get away with it 'cause yours all have cute dogs on the covers. Maybe that's the real key...

But how do you feel about book cover userpics?

[jimhines]

Tacky and tasteless, the whole lot of 'em.

No wonder it suits me so well!
