Thanks for this first invite, Bill. As I review some of your events, I hope you can find the time to add to my blog. I'm a new author and I hope to serve the public well. It is also my hopes to inspire new sponsorships for my new book, "Target Washington: The Search for Osama bin Laden", ISBN: 9781434375230. Thanks again....

Bill, thank you for your friendship request. This site is new to me but I'll look forward to reading your blogs.

Hi Bill, Thanks for the friending. I will be interested in seeing you blog. Am hopping over there now. Please drop by my site and make yourself at home anytime.

Hi Bill

My books are about enhancing long term intimacy. I suspected that women would buy the books and give them to their recalcitrant partners. I use humor as a device to promote bonding between couples. It is good to see the statistics.
Thanks

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the welcome. I love the statistics you post. It's certainly true in my case that women buy my books by about a two-to-one margin over men. Maybe they're just smarter than we are!

Wow, what cool statistics! Thanks for inviting me to be your friend.

How nice to hear from someone who has read the book. Where is your research on Donze published? I don't see him in Find-a-Grave.com.

Thanks for your friendship. Your blogs are wonderful.

Sounds interesting. I look forward to it.

Hello Bill,

Thank you for adding me to you list of friends. I look forward to getting to know you!

Sandra

Thanks for the friend invite. Love the stats! Very interesting!

Thank you Bill, friends are always welcome.

Thanks Bill.

I am a neophyte with a published novel but still discovering just what this business is really about. I'm hoping to gain some helpful tips from those of you with more experience.

Hi Bill, nice to "meet" you. I'm a professional writer but have not yet published my first book. I have written one and the college where I teach part-time prints it. I hope to "get publishing!" in the next year, and look forward to reading the posts.

And I'm actually older than my picture portrays....see www.writertypes.com. :)

Hi Bill:
I am here to learn about successful book publishing from those with experience. Any advice would be helpful. I market my self-published books at the seminars that I do and on amazon.com. Any ideas?

Bill, we have been doing PR for 30 years, and book PR for about 10 years. We won three national awards for the best book PR in the country. Honestly, we haven't done a virtual book tour. Our traditional PR includes contacting bloggers, TV, radio, magazines, and newspapers. We get clients on all kinds of shows and in the news. I am working with CNN presently because they want to do a segment on a client. We set up book tours, get speaking engagements, help authors get agents, arrange special events, and do media training for clients. Check out our website www.oconnorpr.com for some comments on our work. We are proud of what we have done. Our agency is small and we devote lots of time to each client. There are no junior people here and our fees are very reasonable compared to a New York firm.
Bill, if you have ties to mainstream publishers, let me know because we know top notch literary agents who are looking for a good publisher. My number is 847-615-5462.

This is new to me. The book will be released in about a month. Any info om driving it to the people is apprecisted. Thanks Steve

Bill,

Thanks for your kind invitation. I looked over a few of your comments before accepting this and thought they seemed sensible. So I will now look forward to reading to greater depth. While I am not new to the publishing industry, my career has veered away from trade publishing to professional (doctors and lawyers).

Six, seven years ago, however, I was enticed to begin work on a book, Preludes to Flightwhich I've now completed. As I've explored options to get it into press, I've discovered that with print-on-demand technologies, self-publishing, and the general malaise of the books industry, it's a brave new world out there. So I welcome the counsel and advice of those who've blazed the trail.

As regards my book, if you're interested, please feel free to check out: http://www.hanellpress.com/

Whatever the case, thank you again for your welcome.

Bruce

The future of books truly gives one something to think about. I cannot understand the language but I certainly get the picture. Wow! That was very interesting and I can see where this is going. Thanks for sharing. Things that make you go hummm.

Thank you, Bill, for the friend invite. Your blog looks interesting.

All the best to you.

Hi Bill...
nice to meet you...

Long time no see. How are you these days?

Wondering over your pages I feel like I have found a gold mine... Thank You for sharing so much info. Think I will be spending a lot of time reading what you have offered up.

Bill, thank you for adding me to your friend's list.

Hi Bill, thank you for your invitation to your friend list.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in the book. Yes, the book will be available in the US soon.

Kind Regards, Banihan.

What do you think of this excerpt from the Journey?
Going up the mountain to the house, they were surrounded by a pack of snarling wild dogs. The pack leader had a split snout that looked like it had been hit with an axe. That was one big, mean, and dangerous looking dog. They were intent on the groceries. Sarah was scared standing very close to Josh, he was determined they would not get their belongings. He was carrying a stout walking stick, and beat them all off. He hit the pack leader on the head hard enough to make him reel back and away. The others followed his lead; he bounded off shaking his head as if to shake off the effects of the blow. Sarah looked at her hero. They took a moment to look back down the mountain side. The city of Haifa lay between the mountains and the shore. Many freighters were close to the docks waiting to unload or load for export. Israeli warships cruised the perimeter of the port.

do you have any recommendations for starting to market (pre-release) my book? How did you get onto the media circuit?

Thanks for the invite :)
