A quote from Friedrich Nietzsche that LE either forgot or never learned. I think those wanting to be "activists" need to keep this in mind.

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

as some of you might recall, i self-published a novel last fall.

i hoped “armageddon’s disciples” would be successful as my previous works (an alternate history trilogy) had done well.

not so with “disciples.” i’ve sold a total of nine copies.

Wing commander, I'm on Reddit and posted an announcement when I first published it. I'll do it again, I need to order a few more author copies before I do much more.

Pistolpete I published it last fall. Like I said I sold 9 copies, then nothing. The alternate history is still selling a few copies every month two years after I published the first one. I marketed to several military and history sites I belong to, people that I know are very caught up in the European situation. Some are still reading fiction.

Yes, Moby Dick flopped at first. Lots of books had trouble coming out of the starting gate and later became big sellers. Both John Grisham and J K Rowling were rejected by lots of publishers early on.

Silentbuddha: I've considered that possibility. I just released a new historical novel, the jury on that one is still out.

Not so with “Disciples.” I’ve sold a total of nine copies. It’s not that people don’t like it, it’s getting no attention at all. (My beta readers and proofreader loved it). I’m surprised the book has not produced more interest as it deals with sexual scandals and false prophecies within a high-control religion, a church I created for the book.

This is the back jacket description:

“When three “Disciples” of the Word of God Foundation discover seventeen-year-old Alice Lahti dead in their meeting hall, police detective Ed Franklin quickly finds a tangled web of toxic relationships, sexual abuse, blackmail, murder, and bizarre failed prophecies. Unable to penetrate the Disciples’ closed world, Ed recruits his neighbor, Keith Thornton, a former member, to guide him.

Already “Cast-out” for heresy and facing shunning by family and friends, Keith has nothing left to lose. His wife has left him because he no longer believes in The Word. By helping the police investigation, Keith marks himself as a “Forsaker”, one who has deliberately turned his back on The Lord. Keith hopes his assistance will provide meaning to the havoc the religion created in his life.

As stories of sexual abuse and the body count rises, investigators struggle to unravel the secret world of “Armageddon’s Disciples.””

So (being honest) I want to create some interest and sales or find out why I’m not attracting readers. I would like to recruit three or four members of this board to read it and write reviews. All I need is your address so I can send the books. I’ll even autograph them, although I don’t think my signature is worth anything 😊. All information will stay confidential, I will not give out or sell any private information. If you are interested, please PM me.

You know, Amsterdam is a lot closer to Croatia than Thailand. So if you just want to hire prostitutes why go half way around the world to do it?

Just sayin'...

Simon, its about a lot more than patron's reputation. If money is being diverted to other activities they could be charged with money laundering. I've complained over the years about members of this board using that term to lightly. This could be a case where the term is warranted.
