Do We Read Books?

I was reading an article the other day that claim most of us do not read books. The author of that article believe that it was useless for authors to promote their books online because people were not online in search of newly released books.

I tend to disagree. A lot of people buy books online. If they did not, sites like Amazon.com would be out of business. Additionally, a lot of authors promote their books on blogs. Those blogs may not reach all of the potential consumers just by reading the blogs, but the potential for the book promotion exist through word of mouth. After all, a large percentage of readers have purchased books based on word of mouth.

New Book Releases

If you are looking for a new book to read, why not search blogs. For example, you can do a google search---new books on wordpress.com----new books on typepad.com---new books on livejournal.com---new books on blogger.com.

That type of search will lead you to new and well known authors who may be discussing their new book releases. Give it a try---you will discover an array of new book releases.

Yes I Am Faye Brown

Someone sent me an email the other day asking me was I the real Faye Brown. I thought the question was a little strange since I don't have a staff to do any posting for me. Yes, I am the real Faye Brown.

Although I find the research on my novel is stimulating, I will always have time to interact with my readers online.
