My book, Thai Lottery…
and Other Stories from Pattaya, Thailand has just been published and all my
mates think it’s great; at least that’s what they tell me when I am buying the
drinks. It never occurred to me that I would have to market the thing; I just
assumed that someone would read it, decide it was good and then tell the rest
of the world. All I would have to do is answer a few e-mails from appreciative
readers and then cash the royalty cheques. A cameo role in the movie, a bit
like Alfred Hitchcock used to do, would be cool too But I am a patient man,
that could wait.
Then the publisher
explained my role in all this. I did the Facebook page, opened my first Twitter
account and finally plucked up the courage to write a blog (yes this one). Then
it struck me, I am trying to popularise my book by writing a blog, how the hell
do I popularise the blog? If anyone can point me to a blog explaining how to do
that, I would be very grateful. In the meantime I will just press on and hope
for the best.
