Freakin' LuLu!!!!!!!!


I worked a 12 hour shift today so I'm going to make this short, I'm so tired.  I'm trying to get my book into the hands of some blog book reviewers, or reviewers in general.  I really want to get my book to sell, but there is never a worse time for the old adage “you have to spend money to make money" to be true.  LuLu.com, the place I self published, does not give you an allotment of books, maybe like 10 or whatever, that would be too much like right.  Nope, LuLu.com charges you for your own work just like they charge anyone else who wishes to buy.  The whole set up is a rip if you ask me.  Anyway, at this time I can't afford to buy one copy of my book, much less umpteen copies that I would use to distribute to different bloggers with clout, and/or book agents.  So, I'm stuck...I thought that I could thwart that problem by making my book available for PDF download, but as internet crazed as everyone feigns to be, no one cares to be the first to download a book and read it.  I'm not talking Harry Potter or Twilight status pages here, its 142 pages of good reading.  So once again I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, and this is how my progress pulled up short last time, which was over 10 months ago.
