Your readers know you write, but what else do they know about you? The largest number of responses and follows have come from photos with me on various motorcycles. Although I don't drive, I ride "backpack" or "*itch", but it's a part of me rarely seen by my readers. I strongly recommend that you share your hobbies with your readers and potential readers. Connect with them on a deeper level to make them WANT to learn more about you as a person and as a writer. Happy connecting, my friends!

I will continue to be authentic and transparent. I’ve been asked about my book royalties, so you can see what I’ve received this month. This is the most I’ve been paid due to printing costs and distributor fees.

Trying to keep everyone alerted to scams, I am now replying to scammers with actual company emails so they realize I’m not gullible.

The newsletter for the Book Launch Network Test Run will go out in the morning. If we get enough participation we will make this a major part of the community going forward. It only works if everyone participates so we will see how it goes. If you are interested in this program succeeding then I encourage you to open that newsletter email and support one or more of the authors by pre-ordering their book and then leaving a rating/review once you have read their book. Alright lets go!
