At 9:30pm on May 5, 2008, Michele Ann Young said…: My publisher does most of the marketing, but I think blogging and a good website and a good product. I don't think historical is any different to any other genre, but I do belong to various historical groups on line.
Best wishes and thanks for the add.

At 10:12pm on April 29, 2008, Linda Ballou said…: I would like to thank TC McCullen, the new owner of Star PublishingLLC for going the extra distance for me . Not only does she excel in custom illustrations for book covers, she is acutely aware the devil is in the details. In my book, Wai-nani, High Chiefess of Hawaii, there are many Hawaiian words with punctuation alien to modern technology. TC took the time to remedy this situation for me. I am certain her extra care will help my book stand out in the crowd.

At 7:56pm on March 29, 2008, Lindsay Brambles said…: I appreciate you adding me, Linda. From your website it's clear you like to travel. You should consider Africa at some point. I lived in Tanzania back in the mid seventies and loved the place. We lived in the foothills of Kilimanjaro and the wonder of waking up everyday to the view of that mountain never waned. Then, of course, there are the spectacular parks, the beautiful coast, and the wildlife.

Enjoyed your site; hope to see more.
