I know a few people have asked me if Scarred is available on Kindle. I learned today it is.
So I'm home from my book signing. It was a bust. Not a single copy sold. There was another author who was monopolizing all the patrons. His book Wisconsin International Racing sold like hotcakes, while the rest of us sat basically twiddling our thumbs. A couple other authors did sell a couple books, however, I and another author didn't sell any. I don't know if that was the same story for any other author there.
It was disappointing, but it was what it was. Maybe I need to take a class in how to promote and sell my book. I just have no idea how to do it. I did post the book signing on Facebook. I just didn't have time to put out a reminder before I left this morning.
My friend came to support me, so I wasn't bored by not selling anything and we went out to eat after it was over.
So for those of you waiting for Scarred to come out on Kindle, it is available.
I hope your day has been a good one. Thanks for reading.

I will have to check it out on Kindle since that works so much better for me these days than physical books. I did buy a book online from a Facebook friend recently, however, and he signed it for me before sending it out, so that was nice. I'm just so sorry that no one bought anything from you. I know how I'd feel in that circumstance, so I'm doubly glad you had a friend to be with you!

I hope this is just a bad begining. And I congratulate you for your novel! Novels are so difficult to write that I have only written short stories.

@just4him There are people who prefer one genre over the other.

@marguicha That's true, though short stories isn't a genre, it's a type of story. Genre would be mystery, romance, historical and so forth.

@DianneN It's a great story. If you don't mind the Christian overtones in the book, I think you would like the story. Check out the reviews I got on the first edition on Amazon and you decide about it. I got five star reviews on it and one four star. I don't have any reviews yet on the second edition.

That's unfortunate, Valerie. I didn't realize other authors would be present promoting their books too. What kind of place were you at, a mall or book store or some place else?

@just4him That's too bad. I wonder whether a bookstore in the area would be blessed to have you in there for book signings? Have you gone to any to see if they'd carry your book.

@MarshaMusselman I did when Scarred came out the first time. The Christian bookstore did carry a couple copies, but Barnes and Noble wouldn't touch it. The store manager there is mean to local authors as I've learned through the writer's meetings.

Yes, I'm happy about that, even if the royalties aren't as good, at least it sells better that way.

I'll have to check out your book, so I can get it on Amazon.
