As an author of McAnthony's War, how best do you think my thrilling book could be publicised?
My book is already on most online stores to be ordered for. I need publicity for it apart from those my publisher given. It is highly entertaining and deserved to be known and read by all, hence my call for publicity and a way to make it done as a movie because it sure deserves it. If you know a sure way to do these, let me know

Is it stocked at your local stores? If not, go in and chat with the employees, and ask them if they would order it, and maybe do an in-store event. Be pleasant and likeable when you talk to them. I've had a few local authors talk to me who have been pushy and annoying (hint:don't tell them it's thrilling, highly entertaining, and deserving of a movie). Others have been really great people. Guess whose books I handsell? If the staff at your local store like your book and they like you, they will sell your book. Once you have a good sales record at the stores near you, you have a better position when contacting other stores that aren't local. (For example, if your local B&N or Borders has sold ten copies in a quarter, you could write to the headquarters and point out how well it sells when given a chance. People in other stores won't be handselling it, but getting stocked is half the battle.)
Good luck!

Have you looked up the Predators and Editors page on PublishAmerica? I guess not or you would never have published with them. Good bookstores will not sell PublishAmerica books, for very good reasons. There are dozens of links from burned authors there for you to read. Maybe you could try a respected publisher. Good luck selling your book.
