Since my website and blog pages are getting so much attention I’ve decided to submit SILENT INVASION to try and get an agent, again.

Since most agents won’t even look at an author unless he’s got the basic WWW promotion down, at least I might spark someone’s attention. Although I’ve made money from my books, it would be…

Yeah! Sales are increasing! My blog is now averaging about 75-100 hits an hour. My Facebook Fan page has almost 3,500 “likes” and my Authors Den profile is averaging 100 hits a day.

The book is set in the not too distant future when a worldwide government has been…
