Hi,
To me no - marketing my books is distasteful. It would make me feel like a fraud. But hey I have the same problem going for job interviews. Even when I speak to the qualifications I actually have I feel as though I'm lying. I hate it. I don't want to do it - and so I don't.
As to how I sell, it's purely by writing. Write more books is my mantra, and it's what I do. So I have sixteen books out, eleven of them novels, and I simply hope that with a good cover and blurb and a decent story they'll sell. Currently I'm selling a little over a thousand books a month which is I think reasonable given my lack of advertising, and I plan on increasing those numbers simply by writing more books. In February I plan on releasing my next novel and a short story which I began here in the challenges. And my goal for the year is six novels out.
Cheers, Greg.
