Hi.

I’d like to introduce myself. Besides being the author of the Jonathon Stones Mystery Series, I am a strong Author's Advocate. I write articles highlighting other authors books. Also, I do author interviews and post them on my blogs. Thanks for friending me. Here’s my latest article.

Authors: The Task of Finding Readers – A Study
Over 30 Outstanding Authors Share Their Experiences.

All authors can learn something from this study.

As they say “This is great stuff. As authors try to gain traction in today’s marketplace. The secret besides writing good books is to find readers and establish relationships.”

You can view the complete study on the blog: HBS Author’s Spotlight

Thanks for connecting. Your Valley of Thracians has quite an interesting premise. Both of my books--fantasy with a spiritual journey theme--were also printed by CreateSpace, and I found they did a good job.

Thanks for being my friend. I too have friends living in Israel and my book, Jazz Town, is about a German Jewish boy trying to come of age in Kansas City's mafia-ridden society in the 1920's. I plan on definitely reading one of your books. -b-
