During almost two hours of conversation with lovely Taylor (Maed Between the Pages) and P.L. Stuart, we’ve managed to discuss different topics, including the nature of humanity... Continue Reading →
I don’t think I’ll deviate too far from the truth if I say that the phrases “book promotion” and “book marketing” never fail to send chills of dread down indie authors’ spines.
