New Release Blues

My new superpowers book, Rough Passages, has been available for sale in paperback for several days now. Just an FYI.
 
I realize that announcement lacks the proper new-release pep, but I am fresh out of enthusiasm for touting books people go out of their way to ignore. (OMG THE EXCUSES. FRIENDS, PLS STOP WITH THE EXPLAINING WHY YOU "HAVEN'T READ THEM YET.) 
Promotion makes me feel more like Gus from the Simpsons than an author with a social media circle packed with readers waiting to discover me. 
 
So I won't be touting the imminent ebook release or asking for reviews. It's there. I've posted tons of links barely anyone clicks. It's out. I'm done.
I have to cut the cord at some point. Showcasing things no one wants is too painful. I can't keep clinging to hope my worlds and characters will ever appeal to anyone who hasn't found them already.
