Something About Me and My Book:: My book is called, "Silent Battlefields:A Novel." It is a story about the Holocaust and its aftermath almost three decades later on two familes. One is of Jewish survivors and their young adult son and the other has a husband who was a former Hitler Youth and German soldier. He has a wife and a young adult son. Members of the two families meet and interact leading to startling revelations and unexpected relationships.

I am a retired professor, who upon retiring at age 68 returned to school to attain a Master's of Arts degree in Creative Writing, My work involved teaching, educational administration, and a psychotherapy practice. In addition I have a degree in English from St. Joseph's College (now University) in Philadelphia, a Master's from the University of Pennyslvania in social work, and Doctoral degree from Columbia University in clinical social work. I have written three academic books and co-edited three others (published by traditional publishers) all on the subjects of psychotherapy, cognitive therapy, Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, moral reasoning, and constructivism.

"Silent Battlefields" is my seventh book, but first novel, published by iUniverse.

The Evolution of a Blog by a Cromagnon Man Eager to Develop

My main objective is to promote my novel, Silent Battlefields, best obtained on Amazon (my web site address: www.hughrosen.com). However, I can write about a wide variety of subject encompassing such topics as creative writing, psychology, psychotherapy, philosophy, morality and so forth. any advice from others as to how to proceed. It would be… Continue

What a life you have had--from reading your website. Looks like you are using many of the Amazon tools to promote your book, Second Battlefields. Good job. Yes, I'm in the thick of the publishing world but I understand my work is because of my relationships with others so I'm always looking to form more relationships. Keep up the good work and if I can help you, just ask and we'll see what we can work out.

Best wishes,

Terry

You sound like you have had and continue to have an amazing career(s)! Congratulations and best wishes for continued success.

Nice to "see" you again. Looking forward to reading your new book, soon to be published, "The Frugal Editor." If it's anythinght like your previous one on frugal book promoting, and I'm sure it will be, the book will reap many rewards to any reader.

Good luck,

They are working with Booksurge since they are affiliated with Amazon, makes a lot of sense :) All my POD titles are printed by Booksurge and I've been very happy with the product.

I'm glad you're enjoying my site and there are a lot of links :) The Nikki site is about 90 pages total and my Readers Station is about 90 pages. Thankfully, my other sites aren't that big. I will try to get time to take a look at your site and let you know any comments or thoughts. WHile you're looking at my site, definitely take a look at http://www.nikkileigh.com/book_promo_101.htm and http://www.nikkileigh.com/book_marketing_articles.htm. I'm the promotion topic editor for the Inspired Author website and the article page links you to my articles there. The Book Promo 101 page will give you information about the topics that are covered in the book. I just need to find time to finish it :) My freelance work has been booming lately and its been impossible to find time to finish Book Promo.

It is necessary for authors to promote and even John Grisham does some promo although he gets a lot more help than we do :) He's actually a very nice person and gives back a lot to the local community. I've been to his house (about 30 minutes from me) and he coaches ball with a good friend of mine. It would be nice to get any of the assistance he gets in promoting - but he started out the way we all have, so it can be done :)

I have about 15 years of promotional experience is a variety of businesses which has been helpful, but its still a lot of work and takes a lot of time :) Learning more every day :)
