  2. @daniellegfny welcome to the forums! You already have a leg up by creating an account and commenting on another post. I pay extra attention to these types of authors, as opposed to the ones who do the drive-by-guest-post never to be heard from again. The only negative is the promotion of Amazon. If you post on site that sells books and it is immposible to link to the site you are on, it is best to link or mention your own site. Personally I boycott Amazon. Every woke/conscious bookseller should.
