Every writer wishes to sell his books. We want primary purpose, to reach an audience, readers who will buy our books.
What makes difference between amateurs and professionals, is how they talk to the audience. If you hit an unknown internet user with a message "Hello! Will you review my book? I kindly ask you to read and review my story.", there is a big chance that you will get blocked.
No wonder, you remind the reader of a beggar who is standing in front of your door, asking a favor.
Reviews are the main tools for sale, but how to get them?
Why should someone read your book when you have millions of indie authors and books online?
Why should someone buy your book when you have free books online?
From my experience, how you represent yourself is the key to your sales.
I have twelve books, various genres.
How to - self-help books. I don't have an intention to lecture someone. I transfer my personal experience. In this way, I clean my soul from my mistakes and give you something useful. If you want, use my experience, maybe it can help you.
Horror - paranormal story. As a kid, I enjoyed horror movies, I wanted supernatural powers, like many children. I wrote one book about a girl who predicts her dreams. I want to tell you that everything is possible, even when you are down when people are against you. If you don't fit in, if you are bullied, unpopular, still unpredictable things are happening, and there is your hope.
Romance - I don't offer happy endings, but a message is here, you can be a step forward when you meet a bad guy. Learn to recognize traps, some are in my books. I don't make illusions, I destroy them.
Thriller - if you are in danger, if you need to fight, I offer some ideas. Some things are based on reality, and life writes the best stories.
I don't expand my book with unnecessary things. Actions are going fast, characters are based on real people, I give them flesh and blood, created from pieces of someone who existed for some time.
My characters are not perfect. Girls are not innocent, guys are not rich, and villains are charming. Justice is not always what it seems to be.
