The publication of my own book has unexpectedly opened new worlds to me: the world of book marketing, for example,
...nonexistent on my mental map or my cerebral encyclopedia a year ago,

...but now receive via telephone from other authors from around the country and the world - I interviewed one author from India - on the subject of their books for the book podcast yourbookmybook.com
Indian author Sonnal Pardiwala, whom I interviewed on her book, "Fan for the First Time."

I recently made the acquaintance via the Black Rose Writing Authors Facebook page, managed by my publisher, Black Rose Writing,
| ...of author R. Bruce Logan. |
...and his superb book, "Finding Lien."
...that took me to a land so far away and yet that felt so real and close and so gripped my heart and my mind that I still haven't returned.
