A Book A Day

Units sold: 17
Amazon Sales Rank: #313,386 in Books

The first tweet recommendation went out by a friend (solid Todd).  Plus, one additional copy sold. 

I read that Bowker, a book-industry-focused market-research firm, estimated 250K self-published titles were released in 2011, and the number is growing.  A lot appear to be titles such as "The Cowboy Who Loved Me," which I imagine involves a man's intimate relation with his horse, told from the horse's perspective.  To be the cream of the self-published pack I need to get to and maintain a 5-figure rank based on these numbers.

Because I believe I have written something good enough to be recommended, I am going to try and giveaway a book a day to either a stranger or acquaintance with a "tell a friend and post a review if you like it" clause.  That is the game plan.

I also learned that I can request that the Cincinnati Public Library purchase it through a website form.  Trying to decide when that should be submitted.  And will be mailing a copy to one of my high school English teachers, Mr. Hays.
