Hi, dear blog readers:

What now? Or in the a phrase from yeas ago, How Now Brown Cow?
I am referring to how to sell my book, Polynesian Dreams, that is available on all e-book exchanges, such as Kindle, Nook, WaveCloud.com and more.
Writing a book, using the analogy of constructing a building, is first to start with a solid foundation. This has to be the idea. Next you built the frame, beginning, end and everything in between. Finally you begin to put on the outside and inside walls. The last thing you do is to put the final touches on your building, such as landscaping and finishing the inside. Writing a book is much like it. Most fiction books are written using a true and tried formula. Polynesian Dreams and most other biographies are the exception. Polynesian Dreams contains plenty of adventure, travels around the world on Dutch Royal Navy and Dutch merchant marine ships, but it is also inspirational, the main purpose of my labor. People that were familiar with my life's ups and downs often advised me to write a book. When I retired and was living in Hawaii, I finally got around doing just that. My book has been available on the e-seller web sites for two months and have had marginal sales. If you look at the hundreds, no thousand of titles you bound to become somewhat discouraged and wonder how I can convince readers that my book is different and a real page turner. I am doing my best, blogs, FaceBook, Twitter but I need to do more. Any suggestions, anyone? I sure could use some. Go to Kindle for instance, search for Polynesian Dreams, and read the description and a few sample chapters. Remember I donate my net proceeds to animal shelters and Wounded Warriors.
Happy vacation reading. Johan Van Oldenbarneveld.
