My First Book Review on Secondhand Shoes

 

Secondhand_Shoes[1]

William Kendall, at Speak of the Devil, has posted a review. It brought tears to my eyes. Go here to read

Having the novel out there, even in paperback, is surreal. Personally, I’ve sold almost every book I’ve bought at cost. I started out with thirty-two and now have ten left. My marketing plan is to plant seeds without shoving it down peoples’ throats. So I’ll be doing some fundraisers within the next couple of months. Next month, I’ll be hosting a book party at Sweetman’s little eyewear shop. And once I know when for sure it will be up for the Kindle, I’ll be having a blog party and giving away free ebooks.

Let me know if any of you are interested in helping out. Just say so in the comment box. Hoping to have a date soon.

Hugs and chocolate,

Shelly

  6. That is an awesome review! (And not surprised coming from William--such an articulate and intelligent guy.)

    AND YES!!! You can count me in for whatever you've got planned. You have my eMail, so just shoot me a note to say, "Hey EJ, I need you to post this on XYZ" and it shall be done.

    I'm so thrilled Second Hand is finally out in the world, and wish you more success than you can even dream. :-)
