I believe that is why the big and in house PR firms are not delivering the way the used to for the “unknown” or first time authors. <BR/><BR/>I utilize your book - <B> <I>1001 Ways to Market Your Books </I></B> every week in my business. I appreciate your work so much and always steer my clients to your book after my 3 month publicist push.<BR/><BR/>Thanks John.Laura L.
