Selling Your Book To Specialty Retailers
Do you fret over getting your book in every bookstore? That's understandable, but do yourself a favor and don't forget about other locations that can proudly display and sell your books.

I create videos for other purposes than my free marketing tips newsletter and I have had the opportunity to use Camtasia 7. Here is the skinny on this new upgrade.

Mother's Day and Books
