Hi,
I just noticed that your web-page has almost the same title as my debut book - Quite by coincidence I promise! "The Occasionally Disgusting Adventures of Brian and Sprig" is the name of my book. We must be like-minded souls. All the best

How to market a Humor-driven Fantasy Novel?
Having just published my debut novel. A humor-driven fantasy tome entitled: 'The Occasionally Disgusting Adventures of Brian and Sprig", I am buzying myself searching for
ways in which to market it. Who could/should I sent it to. The Fantasy market seems a little
over-laden with serious multi-volumned storylines, aside from Douglas Adams, Terry Prachet, Christopher Moore and A. Lee Martinez. Now the humor in my novel is a little fruity on occasion. Certainly not the sort of thing I would want my teenage son/daughter reading.
To get an idea of it's content you can click on the following link to 'Amazon':
http://www.amazon.com/Occasionally-Disgusting-Adventures-Brian-Sprig/dp/1451564171/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275410625&sr=8-1
So...regardless of how good, bad or indifferent it is, I am currently racking my befuddled brain to come up with ways of getting 'TODAOBAS' out there. So far I have given copies to friends and relatives in the hope that they might review it and leave positive feedback on 'Amazon'. I have also tried sending a few to certain celebrities via their Agents/Marketing people. As unlikely this may be of generating a response, If you don't try then you'll never know.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Just a note. As a self-published novel on Amazon's 'Createspace' page I had to set the book at a certain price. It may be a price that people aren't prepared to pay, but as it is it give's me only $1.00 profit. If I had set it any lower I would end up owing Amazon/Createspace money with each/any sale of the book.
Thankyou for any help/advice you can give.

Flamin Groovies Acetate
I was wondering if anyone could give me any more information on an Acetate i have for the 'Flamin Groovies' Album "Supernazz"
It's dated 6-6-69 on "Columbia" and the track listing is as follows:
Side 1: Love Have Mercy, The Girl can't help it, Laurie did it, Apart from that, The Rocking Jpeumonia & the Boogie Woogie Flu
Side 2: The First ones free, Pagan Rachael, Somethin Else, Brushfire, Bam Balam, Around the Corner
Was this the original release. I see 'Epic' as being the original label for this LP. Anyway i'd appreciate anyone who might be able to give me any information on the LP, where it was recorded all that good stuff.
Have a good one.
