Each is unique and presents their own personality. And I would add that as an author, each presents their own challenges. But in the end, I hope it’s all one big happy family. :-)<br /><br />I will now contradict myself by saying that Michael Heart was a lot of fun. This well-grounded, flirtatious, bon vivant was the perfect foil for the female lead.William Quincy Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337095766556949027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466932581579081433.post-17761375513832363322019-08-05T09:24:31.181-07:002019-08-05T09:24:31.181-07:00I liked the excerpt.I liked the excerpt.Rita Wrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16115952708502482157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466932581579081433.post-29855901085490118152019-08-05T07:34:44.964-07:002019-08-05T07:34:44.964-07:00Who is your favorite character in the book?Who is your favorite character in the book?Bernie Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026655873754652531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466932581579081433.post-3326569199544972552019-08-05T05:31:57.375-07:002019-08-05T05:31:57.375-07:00Thank you for participating in this book tour. Bei...Thank you for participating in this book tour. Being an indie author is an uphill struggle.<br /><br />According to Wikipedia, there are 2.2 million new books published each year, 300,000 in the U.S., 150,000 in the United Kingdom, 20,000 in Canada. The book review section of The Washington Post states they get 150 new titles each day. Each day! What are the chances of anyone getting noticed? Even if somebody has written the next classic, there’s the harsh reality of statistics. Having the public choose any particular book out of the annual American field of 300,000 strikes me as being the equivalent of winning the literary lottery. Congratulations, E. L. James: over 70 million copies of the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy sold.<br /><br />By the way, the above is about new books published each year. According to Google, there are over 150 million books in existence! Literary lottery, indeed!<br /><br />There's a lot of junk out there, which means the public is leery of investing their time in anything unknown. Who wants the literary equivalent of bad movie? "I want two hours of my life back." Cheers to the risk-takers who brought E. L. James to the forefront.<br /><br />I appreciate you taking the risk.<br /><br />All the best to you in your world. :-)William Quincy Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337095766556949027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466932581579081433.post-6091607170494947142019-08-05T03:51:21.459-07:002019-08-05T03:51:21.459-07:00 Another great book to discover.
