What y'all think about this?

Of course I'll tell you what I think . ;)

I'm always looking for sites to list my books on. You know, to get folks buying. I stumbled upon the Top Suspense Group and thought I'd inquire to see if they might list my books. Here's the response I received in a very timely manner:

Thanks for inquiring about the Top Suspense Group. Right now we're generally looking for writers with sizable backlists and name recognition in one of the genres.

Please understand that this is no reflection on you or your work. I want to stress that. We're brand new and just starting to get our sea leg. Please try us again in the future when we've figured out exactly how we need to proceed.

Well I hope they find their sea leg. LOL But if that's what they're looking for most every author I know will be SOL unless . . . *drum roll please* they're published by one of the larger houses and don't need sites like these to help advertise. No one has a back list these days unless they're with a big house and no one can fight the big publicity guns the larger houses have in their arsenal to rise above and get name recognition in any genre.

So don't expect to see my books listed here. Clearly, I'll never meet the requirements. Funny thing is, when I do eventually earn name recognition, I most likely won't have to ask sites like this to be listed. Funny how that works, isn't it?
