Hi my name is Lee Ann Leggett, I am 23, and have published five books. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas on how I could promote them to increase sales. Sales are pretty good and I am being called "the next Stephanie Meyer" but I want to be able to do more. If you haven't heard of me then you don't read much. If you need to look at my work to think of ideas just type my name in the search engine at amazon.com and it will pull 4 of my 5 books up. The fifth was just released and can be found only at publishamerica.com right now. I already made a myspace and I am in the process of building fans that way of. It doesn't matter if you have experience or not, I take all ideas into consideration. I also have typed up letters to send to the film companies so they can review for film production. (link)

I suggest having your own website, not just a myspace. It would be a good investment to have a place where readers can read a bio about you, info about your books, and maybe a blog where they can connect with you. As for advertising, maybe your publishers would help out there. That is partly their job. You could buy some web ads or offer to do signings and readings at local book stores. Word of mouth over the internet is powerful, so get a well known person to like your book and plug it on youtube or the radio.
And another tip, don't be too confident. You have to realize that after all of this vampire sucess with Stephenie Meyer there isn't room for another big series that sounds so similar. I haven't read the books, but the summaries make it sound like a dark spin off. People are already tiring of this vampire mania, and you need something unique.
Things will fall into place if they are meant to be, just keep trying.
Good luck,
-Abby
