I sold my first book last night.  I printed some leaflets informing the people in the street where I live that I have had my first book published and they could get a copy from amazon if they wanted.  I included my mobile phone number and before I had delivered to both sides of the street my phone rang, to my utter amazement it was a customer.  They were so pleased to be able to buy a signed copy from me, they had loads of questions, it was good to think that people might be interested in what I do.  I'm expecting a couple more neighbours to come round to my house later to pick up a copy.   My book looks good on amazon and I can't resist but to have a look every day, how sad is that? :-)
