Bull Canyon joins host of interesting books to help launch www.nooklovers.com

I like people who think outside the box. Friends who really like Bull Canyon are helping me get the word out about beyond my sailing audience. One of them sent me a link to a brand new website, www.nooklovers.com. I contacted Eliza and liked what I heard so thought I'd try to help out a bit by letting other folks know about their project. What I like is they are not just focusing on cheap book – but also recommending those they call "Splurge buys."  Yes, they have offered to feature my memoir as a splurge. This is why they started their site


 


Recently, my mother purchased a Nook e-reader. She's not very savvy about such things and after I'd told her that there were so many free or reasonably priced digital books, she was disappointed by her inability to find them. Frustrated, I yanked the machine away from her and tried to find them myself. They're there…they're just hard to find.
Now, when it comes to the Amazon Kindle there are a slew of sites dedicated to daily book bargains. I've seen authors make bestseller lists just because they happened to get a spot on Kindle Nation or Daily Cheap Reads or one of the others. So I did some searching for my mom to see what the Nook equivalent was. And do you know what I found? …nothing.
There's apparently a hole and I aim to fill it, so along with my fellow author and Nook lover, Eliza, we have created this site to offer readers a chance to find the best, most economical reads around. Every week we'll feature a free book for your nook, not to mention a suggested splurge item. And every day there will be cheap reads featured.

After so many comfortable years writing only for folks who were almost like friends (sailing readers), folks who felt like Larry and i were their mentors and advisers so spread the word about any new book we wrote, it has been interesting and challenging to be part of the "real writing scene" as I introduced a memoir instead of a sailing book. In this new world,  each author has to work very hard to get noticed, yet I find they almost all want to help each other along the way.


 


good luck Eliza and Stephanie
