What would you do?

I would like to know what and how you would deal with someone who is jealous of you? How would you deal with this person if they spend so much time harrassing you, defaming you and your good name?

Book Review - The Secret Supper by Javier Sierra

As you know, I run a Book Review group here on the Book Marketing

Network so I thought I'd give you a sample of what you might expect if

your book is chosen for review.



The Secret Supper far surpasses The Da Vinci Code



It is not often that I am thoroughly impressed with a book, but The

Secret Supper is the best I've read in a very long time. Though you may

not believe it, this book is far superior to The Da Vinci Code… Continue

Vampire Trivia!

In ancient Peru there was a type of vampire called a Canchu - it would wait until dark and then attack young strong warriors who were asleep, draining blood from their veins. Often they wouldn't kill the victim outright, but leave them alive in hopes of a return visit!

This legend has endured until the present day with the variation that the Canchu now will attack anyone, since young strong warriors aren't as common as they used to be, and they dwell primarily in mountain passes.…

Ka-Ching! Planning Time for Business Development

One of the primary issues about which my clients complain is that they never stop running their businesses.
