Writer as pavement artist?

It's no good, I tell new writers, to sit back and think your job is over once your work is published.  You have to make it known.  This was so, even in days gone by.  I've recently realised I'm sitting on a harvest of readable fiction, published in the 60s, 70s, 80s.  After scanning to produce Word docs from the hardback editions, then having the files given the OCR treatment, I have been painstakingly re-reading my first seven novels and checking for errors thrown up by the process.  Like a pavement artist, I've spread out three here, hoping to attract passers-by.  They have become social history, all circling around the issues of their time, served up as comedy with serious undercurrents.
These three are on Kindle and all have samples to download: Jam Today http://amazon.com/dp/B006GA47MA ;Noah's Ark http://amazon.com/dp B006FY5T38,; and Rubbish http://amazon.com/dp/B006JO1US2.  Moses is about to join them.     
It would be marvellous if you would like to review and possibly recommend them to others.
