In Need of Some Advice

When An Illusion of Control started selling and getting good reviews, I realized that maybe I should be trying harder to get my novels into the hands of potential readers... but that is sooooo much easier said than done. Honestly, the main reason I think so many copies of Illusion sold had everything to do with the number of times Kelly P. and Kathy T. shouted it out on their social media pages! When Netflix eventually calls and I can finally afford to take my friends on an all-expenses-paid trip to Red Rocks (hopefully to see Trampled By Turtles), those two are definitely going with me!

Anyway... I digress. Back to selling more books, eh? I've been trying to line up book signings in new venues. Next Saturday, 11/9, I'll be at Hollabaugh Bros., Inc. from 10:00 - 1:00, and the weekend after that, on 11/16, I'll be at Wee Scot Book Shoppe in Waynesboro from 11:00 - 1:00. In addition to those events, I've got some other things in the works, and one of the places I'd like to reach out to is Midtown Scholar Bookstore in Harrisburg... but first, I need to start selling my novels on Ingram in addition to Amazon.

Because I publish through Amazon, I use an ISBN given to me by Amazon, but if I want to publish through Ingram as well, I need to purchase an ISBN and a barcode that can appear on my books. This isn't an absurdly expensive endeavor, exactly... but it can quickly become absurdly expensive if I purchase ISBNs and barcodes for all twelve of my novels at the same time. Therefore, I'm not going to do that.

That being said, here's where YOU come in: I am definitely going to purchase an ISBN and barcode for An Illusion of Control because it is more popular than anything else I've written. I would also like to purchase an ISBN and barcode for one of my other titles... and I'm not sure which title to choose. I would like to hear/read your thoughts on this matter. If you have strong feelings about one of my novels becoming the other splurge, please leave them in the comments or shoot me an email because I'm really torn regarding which one to choose!
