mines is, and the only thing it requires is for you to review it. 

Here's the link, and have fun.

I don't know which is more ironic, promoting an Amazon ebook on a Nook forum, or an author not catching a pretty prominent typo on the cover.

I'm enjoying the irony of this post being under a link to an article entitled Promoting Your Ebook: The Importance of Knowing Your Audience. (emphasis mine)

I'm rolling my eyes at the idea that a review is required.  Sorry, writer, but that's not really how this works.

I've seen authors do some pretty kooky things in the name of self-promotion. There's a lot of money waiting for someone who can figure out the discoverability issue in books and a way to let authors pay to be 'discovered'.

Authors can pay for PR/marketing firms.  The problem here is that there are a lot of self-pub myths and the majority of self-pubbers don't bother the find out what really needs to be done to write and market a good book.  Good marketing can be done for free, but you have to know what you're doing, and the best marketing is word of mouth, which requires simply (LOL) that you write a good book.

I'm amused by what happened when I read a bit of the book and - per the spam in my inbox here - gave pauld an honest opinion of the bit of the book I had time to look at, and pointed out that flogging an Amazon title via spam to Barnes and Noble customers was poorly advised.

An honest opinion was apparently not actually what pauld wanted, judging from the grumpy email I got back which spelled grammar as grammer twice, contracted a posessive its as it's, and was just generally unhappy with actual feedback.

Well, when you decide to promote a B&N book, I might just review it for you.  Until then, I wish there was an "ignore" button that actually worked on this forum, though I doubt you'll be back.

I doubt your doubt.  This isn't his first go-round, though the last time around he was spamming people by PM.

(BTW, Pretty sure this is not the Jermaine Paul who won the Voice.  That guy had talent.)

I'm still trying to figure out if the book is his or if it is actually made of mines.
