How Can I Help?
The road to publishing success is a shaky one and I really do need all the help I can get. If you’ve become a fan of my work please look through some of the ideas below to help me spread the word to more potential readers.
Word of Mouth
Simply put, you are my single greatest resource. I can put bells and whistles up all over the place but for a new reader I’m always going to seem like a risk. One word from you, a simple nudge from an actual person, is enough to turn me in anyone’s mind from “Unknown Author” to “That Writer My Friend Likes.”
Now, I’d love to give you some instructions on how to go about spreading word of mouth but that would be sort of silly. There are eighty billion personal networking sites out there and I have no idea how you go about chatting with your friends, but if you’ve become a fan I encourage you to drop my name into conversations, texts, tweets, blogs, groups, forums, book clubs, updates, lord knows what.
Let people know I’m out there.
Believe me, a simple Facebook Status Update mentioning that you’re enjoying one of my reads or that one of my characters made you laugh can do a lot more than you’d imagine.
Book Reviews
My page on amazon is starting to fill up, but it could use a little love from you. Click on through to Probability Angels and type your review up for the world to see. Like the short stories better? Well 15 Stories
Have another readers’ networking site that you prefer to use? By all means chat up my work on there. If you have written a review, though, and wouldn’t mind me looking at it and possibly sharing it with others, don’t keep it a secret. Drop me an email at joe@josephdevon.com.
Help Others Find My Books
Amazon lets you, the readers, help them hone their search engines. Please go to their “Help Others Find This Item” page and put in some helpful key words for my books. The Probability Angels page is here and the 15 Stories page is here.

My work currently has no genre. It’s very sad. It’s being called Dark Fantasy, Modern Gothic, Urban Literature…all sorts of things. Personally I like to think I’m more than just another zombie author.
But amazon needs your help sorting all this out so that potential readers can find my books more easily.
So please go to the Probability Angels or 15 Stories
