Hi,

I've never used email blasting as a form of promotion but personally I do not like it. I get tons of spam/email blasts from other authors about their books and spam is not an effective way to sell books. Most people do not even read mail from email blasts and delete it. It's fine if someone is on your mailing list but it is not acceptable to email blast a bunch of people at random. Spam is a big no-no for any reason, promotion or otherwise.

You must be creative in order to bring people to your books. Are you with a publisher or self-published? If your book isn't in stores then you need to bring your online networking to its highest level and avoid spam. Just a little research online should help you out. Social networking is a good way to start. I suggest participating in forums and groups but not advertising in them, just participating and this will also bring people to your work. There are also many books on marketing and promotion you could try. I write articles geared towards lending advice and tips to new and aspiring writers. Feel free to look at them and something may help you out.
