It's a long road, as most authors can probably tell you, from first starting your story to the day it's actually available for sale. A road filled with writing, outlines, revisions, critiquing, self-editing, some doubts and frustration (maybe a lot of doubts and frustration), more revisions, critiquing, and editing, and so on.
That road can take you one to two years to travel, but then . . . you reach your destination . . . your goal. All your doubts, impatience, and frustration disappears. Your book is now available for sale at retailers and bookstores! Now you can relax and take a breather before you start on your next book.
Uh, but, wait a minute. You thought writing the book and having to be patient through the submissions and publishing journey was tough? Well, roll up your sleeves and dig in, because now comes the hard part - selling your book.
Okay, all this is a lead-up to my big announcement: Walking Through Walls is now available for sale. :)
Amazon doesn't have the book's cover on the sales page yet, but click on the blank image - I uploaded the cover to it. Hopefully, they'll get the cover up in 4-8 weeks.

For those who haven't heard of Walking Through Walls, it is a middle grade fantasy adventure based on an ancient Chinese tale. You can read a number of reviews, check out a couple of interior illustrations, and find out more about my book at: http://walkingthroughwalls-kcioffi.blogspot.com

And, for anyone who has read Walking Through Walls it'd be greatly appreciated if you'd write a review, however small or large, and post it to Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Goodreads, Shelfari, LibraryThing . . .whichever and where ever you have the time to go to.
For those who have already written a review, please post it to any or all of the sites mentioned above!
Reviews are a powerful selling tool.
I take the time to post my reviews to the usual places, and I always make them long enough to post to the article directories, particularly EzineArticles.
This strategy produces a couple of benefits:
1. The author gets free effective promotion to a broader audience.
2. The reviewer gets the satisfaction of helping out a fellow author, plus increased visibility from the review posting sites and article directories. And, remember, you never know who will end up reading your work online, whether a review, an article, an e-book, or other content.
