A few days ago my gig delivery job took me to a tiny town I'd never been to before. While I was there I discovered an artist's market with indie author books for sale AND a tiny local used bookstore that also had indie author books for sale just a few doors down! I had no idea any of it was there. I took some business cards and filed them away immediately--I need places to sell my stuff!
