Thanks for putting out what you've learned so far. You've got me rethinking about whether or not I should wait until Book 3 to put out a print book since I'm working in MG. Thanks again!E.S.

Your cover is one of my favorite book covers of the year (from any sort of publishing). It's absolutely perfect. Even aside from the financial investment, though, is the insane amount of time you've put into the whole thing, through research, organizing a street team, etc. It's not just getting everything right and then throwing your book at the market and hoping for the best. There's a huge investment right there.<br /><br />I can't wait to be able to tell people they can go buy ONE, because I know they're going to love it! :DLaura Hughes, MittensMorgulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934132671168843593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4058856697581528687.post-51382153771678763652013-05-07T12:47:29.383-07:002013-05-07T12:47:29.383-07:00*blush* Thanks Peggy!
