Update - I didn't get enough votes, but the love all of you showed for me is much, much appreciated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please accept my thanks in advance. I launched my book, Afro-Bougie Blues, a month ago, and have since learned, painfully, that if you don’t constantly advertise and promote, nobody sees/buys/reads the book. So, I have been promoting the book on-line, and have had a smidge of success. It went live on June 3rd and I have sold 60 books. (Woo Hoo!) Now, I have a new opportunity. A website called Reedsy has a competition. Whoever gets the most “likes” gets their book in a newsletter. I have no idea how many likes I need, but if you can, please go to this website and click “UpVote”, betweem July 6-12.

18. To all of you who participated.

Please accept my thanks. I hit THIRTY-SEVEN upvotes. I talked to one of the customer service people and she said to target "over 25"... Considering that it is a niche category, I really think I have a shot at this.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
