I agree with Patricia and find much success at local art fairs, winery events, Girls Night Out parties. This weekend I was asked if I wanted to sell books during a Garden Tour. I sold 51 books and handed out even more bookmarks. Plus I met some people from local book clubs which will hopefully generate even more sales. You never know where readers lurk!
