I wrote and published 5 books and it's what I always dreamed of doing. It's awesome.<br /><br />I begged my mailing list for help with the last book. I told them if they wanted more, they should leave reviews so I can afford to keep publishing. A lot of them responded very positively. So, you should try that. <br /><br />Thank you, Lee.M Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056844845233238675.post-15388827165023484212013-10-18T10:54:08.169-07:002013-10-18T10:54:08.169-07:00"Luck is what happens after a lot of work,&qu..."Luck is what happens after a lot of work," very true M.
