Okay, you have written your book and, hopefully, sold it somewhere. Now for the serious work of promoting that book...or all of your published works. Promotion is not for the weak of spirit.
There are so many facets to promotion, but I'm just going to list some links in a few categories on the topic. I have used many of these places for various reasons. And I know there are many more to choose from. I hope that some of these may help you when you reach this point in your writing career.

Starla, these are great. Do you have a favorite or do you use a combination of several?
Reese, for cover ideas, my favorite is 123RF. But a lot of the photos are also at iStockphoto.
I've used Vistaprint for a number of things in the past, but I'm leaning more toward using Print Place now.
For most of the upcoming promotional stuff for Their Lady Gloriana, I am using Goddess Fish. They are wonderful to work with and my Black Velvet publisher loves them, too.
I use every possible Yahoo promotional loop on every bit of news, contests, or excerpts I promote.
Great links and promo ideas, Starla.
You certainly know your way around promo research.
