I'm a bit overwhelmed with the whole self-publishing thing. I guess I wasn't aware of how much marketing would be needed. Now, don't get me wrong I'm not complaining. I'm enjoying all the marketing--it just takes A LOT of time: a lot of emails, a lot of planning and re-planning. Right now I'm arranging eBook blog tours. That being said, sometime down the road I will be evaluating the different tour guides that I'm working with. So far everything is going smoothly; I'm meeting great people who love books, and reviewers are coming on board to read Saving Mary: The Possession (the story of how I went and got myself possessed at the age of 17). If you need reviewers one great place to find them is on book blogs, but I'm also working with:

Oh, and here's another tip for marketing, be sure to set up a Google Alert account. This allows you to track the internet for any posts that come up in regards to "your name, your book title, your subject matter."
