Well, what I am currently doing (other than facebook posting, with a free giveaway when book two comes out) is I am allowing people to buy a copy of the book and I'm going to send them to the troops overseas for their reading.
I feel it is a way to kill the proverbial two birds with one stone example. The troops get a free book to read and pass around (yes, I'm sending actual paperbacks, as kindles' and such are hard to keep charged and delicate little boogers), because it gives them something to do while overseas and also gives me some more eyes on the book.
But I am not interested in doing so for my own promotion. Thus...when I get closer to shipping date, if any author would like to donate a copy of their book to the cause, I'll provide an address they can ship them to and we can either bundle and ship out one box or they can send it direct, as how they get them isn't nearly as important to me as that they DO get them.
Right now I am sending ten copies to ten different units coming up in about three weeks. I'll keep everyone posted if they are interested in following on this.
