So there’s book promotion, and there’s book promotion. Here’s what may be a, pardon the pun, novel approach to crowd-sourcing your book promotion. First, have deep pockets, because it involves sending out a lot of free books. Next, be patient for the ground swell of momentum to catch up to your book selling efforts. Come [...]

I’m in the final throes of completing a 256 page historical/pictorial on 100 Years in the Nevada Governor’s Mansion. The book debuts at the mansion in a special event on September 12th!
