When I sold my businesses about 15 years ago and announced to the world that I was allowing myself one year to write the “Great American Novel,” I received seven books on how to write novels for Christmas. I actually read a couple of them. One of those devoted significant space to the concept of “never join a writers group. Never, never, never join a writers group that serves anything to eat…

I am Marta. Daughter of Tomasz and Marta, big sister of Maciek, and, since last week, owner of Fanta.

Fanta is four months old. She has golden fur with white ,,socks". She's my dog. Well, at least she's supposed to be my dog. We already have one: a12 year old mutt named Portfel (which means wallet in Polish). He is my mother's dog and extremely jealous. So, we're doing everything to make Fanta devote herself to anybody differetn than mom, who can't handle being the favorite person of…

Hi all,

My name is Sean. My first day here at Book Marketing Network. I have just written my first book called the "4 Steps To Financial Freedom". It was really a learning experience for me who knows nothing about writing, publishing and marketing book.

I have written the book, self-published and distributed the book to local bookstores in Singapore. Now, the big challenge is to market the book into a best-seller one in Singapore.

Well, I'm still learning and hope to…

It’s amazing how many people I encountered during my restaurant days and continue to stumble upon now in my day job as a restaurant consultant who glibly say, “I’ve always wanted a restaurant.” I coined the name, “Restabees,” for these…

What a fabulous site! I look forward to learning and sharing what I as a "newbie" am learning about marketing my book. Without question, John's book has been dog-eared and tattered from use. What a great contribution that is.

My first goal is to get out there and learn how "our" site works. The networking concept is tried and true with me. BB (before book) my most requested workshop was The Science of Networking and the Art of Connection.

When I decided to launch a Blog and Forum, www.horizonspast.com…

Ok, sorry for posting two blog posts so soon - but, I have been exchanging messages with my newest friend, Lisa Braun Dubbels, and I poked around her site for a few only to find that she's been on Oprah! I don't even watch Oprah, but I still thought that it was cool, so I thought that I'd share. :)

Anyone else been on a huge media outlet that…

Well, I just received word that me and my lovely friend Sarah Robbins are officially writing Second Life For Dummies. Second Life is a fairly new technology and takes online networking to a new level. You can learn more at Wikipedia here.

I will try to keep you all in the loop as I make some progress with the new…

Then the Lord saith: “You have a Hispanic body this time because no other culture names their kids “Jesus.” If you had a white body and entered into a Christian family and were named Jesus, you would have a lot of unnecessary problems growing up. Nope, Jesus wouldn’t work these days for a white guy.”…

Beyond the Summit is the first fiction about the Sherpas of Nepal .I used to lead treks to the Everest Base camp and know their culture well. The book has received 5 star reviews from everyone. All who read it say it's a movie waiting to be made because of the powerful love story between an American journalist and Sherpa guide, the exotic setting, the climbing scenes told through the eyes of the porters.

How do i bring this to the anttention fo anyone in the movie industry?

I just wanted to post a quick 'hello' to everyone here on this network, it looks like there is some great stuff going on over here. I'm glad to now be a part of it. :)

If any of you have questions regarding marketing your book online and via social networks (MySpace, etc.), feel free to send them my way and I'll try to answer them to my upmost ability (which can be shaky at times I must admit...).

If you want to see me in video form,…
