Mr. Wall,
I'm a therapist in a children's mental health program in West Virginia. I wrote a science fiction novel. "Rarity from the Hollow" is available from www.fatcatpress.com. A satirical essay about its self-promotion was published last month by Wingspan Quarterly: www.wingspanquarterly.com. Jag Lall, English comic book artist, did the cover pro bono.
"Rarity" has received several blurbs, some of which are on the publisher's site. SpecFicWorld gave me a year's free advertising (it normally charges). A review will appear in Baryon Online sometime this month: http://www.baryon-online.com. I think that the best sentences are:
"Eggleton has crafted a novel that deals with social commentary mixed with some eerie science fiction and a strange problem that Lacy has to solve to save the universe with the help of her family and her dog, Brownie. I can almost hear a blue grass version of Metallica while reading this. I expect to see more from Eggleton and Lacy Dawn. Good satire is hard to find and science fiction satire is even harder to find."

Depending on a schedule, from ten to fifty percent of any profits I receive will be donated to prevent child abuse: Children's Home Society of West Virginia (CHS, Dennis Sutton, Executive Director, 304-346-6644).
I was wondering if you have any recommendations on promoting this project. I have zilch funds, not even enough to maintain a web site (I don't know much about it, but it's probably expensive). I hope this post was okay.
