Road to Becoming a Fastlane Author

[Breaking Free]

So I'm preparing for my collection/novel length release this week. I'm looking into some pretty heavy marketing, and I may end up dropping several hundred to get my book out. That's how most of the "breakout" hits are happening these days. They're not found through chance. They're found through marketing.

That being said, I'm considering announcing here when I do my release. Maybe in this post, but also maybe in the INSIDERS (since it isn't searchable through Google). Would that be of interest to anyone, or should I just post the results of my marketing blitz?
