I recently participated in my first media interview. Thought I would never do one, but ended up doing two! I met Rob Brown of For Book Lovers Only at a Texas Authors marketing event in Houston several months ago. He interviews authors on both TV and radio and has studios…
Search For Help launched on October 19 and on time. I started work on these three books in June of 2015 with the idea of completing a trilogy by October of this year (2017). On the one hand, I completed my task. On the other hand, is isn’t a trilogy!…
