No problem and thank you! They aren't a brick and mortar store publisher and I knew this from the start. I'm in Australia so although my books will be available in digital and print, most of my existing Australian readers will either order digital or online (for print books) anyway. They are a digital publisher so I expected this from the start.
As for marketing and promo, they do giveaways on social media, tweet your book, etc, the usual stuff Indie pubs do for their authors. I'll obviously do what I can too. I planned my own book launches (at a local bookstore) for my HQN books and they were a great success, so I feel I can handle that part myself. Actually, I prefer to arrange my own appearances and/or signings as I'm a little bit of a control freak and do not like to feel obliged to participate in events I'm not comfortable with.
But the most important job of the writer is to write, so I tend to focus on writing 85% and promote with the other 15%
