7. Be careful with that.
You don't want to be sued for slander or libel.

5. What's it about?
It might help us to help you if you told us what it's about.
Does your publisher have any kind of marketing plan? Is it self published?

8. Been there. Here's what to do.
get a copy of one or all of these books

Guerrilla Marketing for Writers
Jump Start Your Book Sales
Promote Like a Pro

I like the second one the best but they're all good.

Be prepared for this: writing and publishing your book is only half the job. your work is going to change drastically but you're going to be even more busy than you were when you were writing, editing, etc...

btw, my book is here

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0970112564

good luck

9. I certainly hope your book isn't a satire. . .
it won't go over well with most of this crowd. . .
