          <body><![CDATA[For Rebecca, who is reading the Poisonwood Bible: If you are having a hard time reading this book, I suggest listening to the book on tape or CD. It was easier for me that way. I listened to this book two or three years ago and although I enjoyed Barbra Kingsolver's other books more, the Poinsonwood Bible  did make an impression on me.<br/>]]></body>

          <body><![CDATA[Shelia,<br/>I have four self published books. The only people who treat my books differently are other authors. There are some author groups that won't accept self published authors. However, I was recogized by the League of Utah Writers, and won the Writer of the Year Award. <br/><br/>My books are for children. When I read to schools the teachers and students treat me with respect. My books sell mostly on Amazon.com<br/><br/>Now that I have written my fourth book, What's It Like, Living Green? I am getting all kinds of press, because of the subject matter. The other three books have helped to get my name out there.  I sat next to an author of a children's picture book, at a book signing. She had sold 9000 books in 6 months. The books sold for $16.95. She was getting 24 cents per book! She wanted to give up on writting and do something that would make money.  From Booksurge Publishing the author keeps 35%. Some authors go through China or Korea to publish their books, and keep a larger share. Which authors have a greater chance at success?<br/>  Jill<br/>]]></body>
