This kind of marketing feeds on itself.

Exactly. Or get some poor dumb bastard with a television show to tape some softball interviews with you to post on the internet in lieu of just posting stories. Preferably interviews without probability questions. An interview with a person the public trusts, after all, is better than some stories you wrote yourself. Undoubtedly more convincing to a potential publisher.

Maybe we could introduce MDawg to somebody along those lines....
