I have a novel published. 
It is starting to sink in.
There is the website
Nevermind: The Last Temptation of Frank
But Fri. I got 50 of those suckers. Nothing like having the actual product in hand to hammer it home. How bizarre to hold a book of your own words in your hands. I have produced a dozen albums or so and when those products came out there was a certain thrill.
But a book.
That is somehow different.
People certainly respond to it differently.
Trippin out.
But in a good way!

My advice - www.iuniverse.com
I had a literary agent shopping my book for four years.
Nothing.
Not surprising though. The publishing industry is hurting.
My book is never going to be mainstream.
The main character is a stoner
There is new publishing-on-demand technology that came out a few years back that is finally stabilizing. For a relatively small fee iuniverse.com adds me to their catalog after I upload the material to them. That gets you an ISBN number which means that any bookstore can find your book and order it. You are responsible for the PR. There is a decent royalty arrangement with the publisher. If you are looking for a publisher to pick you up and do a media campaign. You bettter commit a heinous crime or something because the only unknown authors that are getting picked up are the ones with some kind of name recognition. At least with iuniverse you have control over your marketing strategy. All you need is a little initiative.
