I want to entertain while providing different perspectives that are followed by an action of reaching out to others with love, compassion and encouragement, no matter how trivial; a nod, a smile, a pat on the back. Or, something bigger.<br /><br />This article defines the elusive review as it links to financial success. Within the book, I make the point that perhaps we need to redefine success in our culture by how we treat others. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363894229704326222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670486147580860070.post-1727686019617947732014-05-20T17:55:12.471-07:002014-05-20T17:55:12.471-07:00A lot of good information here, Barbara.

I've given away a lot of books, seen some whopping numbers and some very disappointing ones. The only sure results I've seen are through sales of the rest of my books. I read once that the way to sell books is to write more books. Good books. The rest of the "proven methods" are, from where I sit, something of a crap shoot. You win some, you lose some. The up side to all this is along the way you make contact with readers and other writers, whether they be many or a select few, who share your love of good stories. Keep writing! It's its own reward.Lost in the Plainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104826922091567767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670486147580860070.post-12679616647342593282014-04-29T19:06:26.156-07:002014-04-29T19:06:26.156-07:00Thanks Shel.
