Still, there’s one promotion method I haven’t tried, creating an author’s email list that includes free reader magnets. “An author’s email list is a collection of email addresses from readers who have opted-in to […]

    “Oh, You Hate Trump!” she said.

    That happened to me when a Trump supporter discovered I didn’t support him. I never have. My reply to that Trump supporter, who brushed me off, not asking for my reasons, and may never read what my answer would have been: “No, I despise him.” This Trump supporter never asked for my reasons. It seems […]
