My children's book about Enron was recently published, The Kingdom of Norne. How do I get publicity for it?

Question

The Kingdom of Norne Written and Illustrated By Busta Scam
Available now at www.kingdomofnorne.com and www.amazon.com
Full color Children's book about the Enron scandal.
My wife used to work at Enron and I invested our savings in it.
We watched the collapse of one of blue chip holdings in disbelief.
This book is written for children to assist parents in explaining one of the the biggest corporate scandals.
It follows the actual events closely and uses metaphors such as a giant, growing pyramid of cheese (pyramid or ponzi scam) which represents the entire wealth of the kingdom.
More information on Amazon or the publisher's site Rock Publishing.

Answer 1

Isn't that the job of your publisher? If not, get on the phone and start calling the local press, then the area press. Set up book signings at local bookstores and get them to carry the book.

Work the cable news show and try and find a slow day they could work you in.

Get busted trying to get one of the executive to sign your book.

Try posting this question on Yahoo! Answers 19 times. But I think it is an excellent idea for a book. I work in a library in the children's room, I should know!
