I published Leftwich Blues/Elfwitch Blues as an ebook on August 13, 2021. It was then published as a print on demand on December 31, 2021. Most copies bought were given out as gifts to potential readers. No one has written a new review yet. No one has expressed dissatisfaction or suggested that I never publish another book. The question is the same as when I recorded original music. How will people know about it and how will people get to read it and who will buy it? PROMOTION. Promotion takes money. You need reviews for a press release. You need a press release. You need people to read the reviews. You need a reading group or book site to talk about the book. You need librarians to pick it up. You need buyers to stock it in stores. It's a domino effect. Probably a book trailer wouldn't hurt. And some well attended book signings that could be some kind of event rather than an author showing up and reading a chapter. Last, but not least, people like to listen to stories so having an audio file and some audio readings out on some platforms would also help people connect with the book.
