I’ve been investigating different avenues for marketing my books and the latest is Goodreads at http://www.goodreads.com. If you haven’t found this site, check it out. There are millions, yes more than five million of them—reading, reviewing, interacting with each other and with authors, suggesting books, and making friends. My two first books are posted there and yesterday I uploaded a short story as a sort of appetizer. Reviews gratefully accepted.

What startled me about the site, aside from the ease of use were all those members. So much for the death of the book. Rather than sound the death-knell for the written word, electronic media seems to be resuscitating it.
