The second one is about miths in the peruvian rain forest named "GRANDES MISTERIOS AMAZONICOS"
I don't have money to made publicity but both are in online,

Roger, assuming you self-published, marketing is going to be very difficult. Many of the avenues open to traditionally published authors are not available. Chain bookstores won't host signings or carry copies (although they will order them for customers). Newspapers, magazines, TV, and radio don't want your press releases and won't do interviews. The library system won't accept free copies. Writing- or book-related conventions won’t let you set up a sales or autograph table, don’t want you on their author panels, and forbid you giving away promotional material.
It's possible that, because one of your books is Christian, you may be able to promote it at church-sponsored events. Find out what ones are being held within your area.
About the only marketing I've seen have any effect for self-published authors is active participation at forums and chats dealing with the subject of your book. If your case, that would be Christian forums and ecology forums conducted in Spanish.
Find your niche markets and determine where online they hang out. Some sites may allow you to discuss your book *if someone asks about it* (but will ban you for bringing it up more than once). Some may allow a link to a point of sale in your profile, or to your blog or web-page which in turn links to a point of sale.
You'll sell a few more copies than you might have, but overall, like most self-published books, regardless of quality, total sales will probably remain below 100 copies. More often, the number hovers somewhere around 2/3 to 3/4 of your total number of friends and family members.
