    It's really about the hunger and resistance to the fear of asking.

    I think as a writer you are proud of your product and never want to make it look cheap in anyway. I have learned in this business you have to sometimes stand at a door and beg to be let in but do it with your head held high and proud. I'm from Texas so we know how to put on the charm without it seeming like we are in dire need. That charm helped me get my books in three bookstores this week. So to answer your question, yes I will do just about anything but in a very charming way!

    No.  Many towns won't let you have signs on your yards and I think it would cheapen one's writing.  Now to set up a book discussion group at the local library, church or somewhere else where you introduce your book and give a short review of it is grand and attractive.

    Not yard signs or stickers everywhere.  I think sometimes promotionals can be degrading to the product.  On that note, I sell my books in bookstores and barbershops, but not whorehouses.  Though I urge a whore who buys my book to take it in there and share it with her friends!  LOL  After all, I've written about many of them!

      Ronald, you're my kinda guy! I'd sell or promote anywhere that did not degrade my book, or literary profession.

    Yes. Or ask me after tax season when I have time to get the book published, then we'll see how far I'll go.
