Once the website is up, there isn't much else to do but update it when the next release is available. I link to my blog on my website. I don't even know how to update my website (that's all my husband's doing). At least what little blogging I do keeps me a little bit relevant. Maybe.

I'm convinced that's the only thing the "big 5" publishers have that the rest of us lack -- a bigger marketing department with longer email lists and broader reach, and the money to use it. But it can all change overnight, which is the coolest and craziest thing in the book world. Just *one* right fan, and suddenly everyone wants a copy.
