How to Kill Your Book Sales

What's the quickest and best way to kill your book sales?

Respond to a negative review and then go through an author meltdown of sorts.

It's one thing to air your dirty laundry online; it's another and tragic thing to get into an online pissing contest.

I pity the author who didn't know what she had gotten herself into before it was too late over at Big Al's Books and Pals.

Big Al, you were a class act for the way you handled this author.

What's really interesting is the number of hits this author received on her Amazon page. Well, she's had her Andy Warhol 15 minutes of fame but not what she expected when she took on Big Al and company.

Glowing praise from a satisfied reader

I am deeply grateful and moved by the following commentary as it was written by the son of a Korean War veteran who fought in the same battles I describe in my novel.


Jeffrey Miller has constructed an insightful novel that explores the devastation that war, even forgotten battles in forgotten wars, can visit upon generations of an American family. The first year of the Korean War saw great victories and devastating defeats for both sides. Miller has the humility to know the horror of battle cannot be adequately described, but still conveys the emotional highs and lows felt by soldiers, veterans, widows, and children. Miller explores the emotional needs of the soldiers and their families to understand the unfathomable and how those needs can be met despite the collective reluctance of veterans and society to confront these stories and the psychological scars they’ve left, even after half a century. This is an impressive, well-researched first novel.
