The significance or insignificance of reviews on Amazon has often been a topic of discussion here at Book Marketing Network. For those who might like to read some examples of reviews that have helped generate strong responses to books--including impact on their sales numbers--as well as other media, I have included on my profile page the RSS feed for my reviews of work by other writers and creative artists on Amazon. Enjoy.

Get Connected with Author and Editor Lea Schizas

I probably should have saved this treat for Halloween, but I couldn't wait any longer. The lovely and talented Lea Schizas stopped by The Book Connection to chat about her latest release, a paranormal thriller titled, "Doorman's Creek." I've been reading it, and it is one of

Lessons Learned from Hurricane Humberto

Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, or so my former business coach used to tell me. I guess that includes hurricanes, as well..:). My big takeaway from Hurricane Humberto was that I need to ramp up my passive revenue streams. It was quite cool to come home and find a number of sales receipts in my email inbox.
