I signed my first novel this week. A wonderful work colleague purchased a copy of the book and asked if I could be so vain as to personally write a brief 'thank you' and sign it. Yes I was more than happy to do so.
I did however notice a couple of typo's on the blurb on the back cover, these have now been corrected and the book is again good to go on Amazon.
I have had a few issues with Facebook. I have created an account and have been joining groups that may have an interest in the book. However I have had my account suspended on a couple of occasions. The only thing I can put it down to is I may be breaking the rules by trying to tout my book in the group chat of the groups I have joined. It seems to be acceptable to post links of naked women and hardcore porn sites in these chat rooms / groups but not okay to try and promote a book. I haven't done much else with it as yet but do intend to update my profile and upload the link to the book on my wall / profile page.
I still need to create a Twitter account and an Instagram account with the same purpose, to self-promote the book. Will hopefully have them done when I next update my progress.
Another work colleague gave me a contact of a friend who works at Amazon and I am now waiting for a reply about advertising and promoting the book on this platform. I also now plan to look at other platforms for advertising which were recommended through the 'David Gaughran' Starting From Zero programme that I am still working through. Here is the link if anybody is interested.

Will update again soon.
