Hi, welcome to Hobnob with Authors. Come on in, and find yourself a comfortable seat.
Although posting links to book blurbs is totally allowed in the group, coming in to our parlor, a stranger, and immediately telling us we shoud all go somewhere else just so we can check out your book is not really all that effective an approach. Why don't you hang around, let us get to know you, chat -- demonstrate that you can can communicate effectively with the written word? If you do, your next book advertisement is more likely to attract a positive response.
There are a number of on-going threads we'd love to see you post in: you can introduce yourself in the Author Introduction thread, let us know what you're currently working on, join our group read, or participate in the snippet game (the current theme is danger). You can also start your own discussion thread. Topics that are related to, but not directly based on your writing are ideal -- but remember that most of us haven't read your books, so you need to give people who aren't familiar with your work a way to participate.
Another recommended activity is to catalog books. That is what LT is mostly about, and as a result a lot of people here tend to check out other people's libraries to see what books they have in common. If you are trying to attract new readers but pretty much the only books you have in your catalog are your own, then you will probably have NO books in common with the very people you are trying to attract. That isn't a good way to convince them to give your books a try.

>1 Avikshit: I was surprised not to see an e-book version on Amazon - is that a deliberate policy?
