Lois McMaster Bujold:
Which promotion platform gave you the best results in terms of sales and how?
Lois McMaster Bujold
I've found the technique that works for me is to write books that sell themselves. After that, sales is their job, best carried on without my interference.
All the other publicity antler-dances are far too much work. Unless the writer is a high-energy extrovert who enjoys such activities as a hobby, the way some people enjoy jumping out of perfectly good airplanes.
That said, of the 3 e-vendor platforms, iBooks, Nook, and Kindle, we use for my indie work, Amazon's sales are largest, about two-thirds, with the other third split between the other two.

So I was rereading Falling Free the other day, and I don't recall that it says anywhere how to pronounce the name of the planet Rodeo. Was it perhaps originally discovered by space Texans (ROH-dee-oh), or maybe Escobarans (roh-DAY-oh)? :) Just something I kept wondering about.
