Ahhhh there IS a comment box.
I think, when it comes to ‘breaking through’ as an author, it matters whether the stone skips across the pond or break a window.
Probably, the book does better, regardless of content, in the case of the broken window.
It’s the squeaking wheel syndrome. Can you refer me to a good Islamist who can arrange a Fatwa on my first two books in this current trilogy?
All publicity is good publicity!!
This is hard as I have memory loss, and I can’t remember much from the other page. lol. I did enjoy it and your books sound like I’d enjoy them. If my kids haven’t thrown them away I hope to find and publish my childrens books too. I hope you do well. love, LinnAnn

Hey whoohoo it worked, ……. Well Hi Madeleine, I will definitely check out your book about the Mayflower, sounds realy interesting. I am into cultural history myself, which also involves researching various historical facts which affect different cultures. Do you also have a blog on WP. I have one on my site, but it doesnt attract much traffic, but all this techno stuff is all new to me, so am still learning. …….. Sue
