    A few ideas:

    - Give readings/signings at your local bookstores and/or library

    - Attend relevant conventions, conferences and workshops

    - Offer to give readings/talks at local schools/colleges/universities, if appropriate

    - Send a press release to local papers, the papers of schools you attended, etc.

    - publish an interesting blog about your writing, your book, other things that you read, etc., etc., and include links in the sidebar to your book on Amazon, etc.

    - Have an author's website with sample chapters from the books, interesting background info, links to related research or whatever else you might find appropriate
