"The Gifted Arena"

It's so sad when you find someone who is truly blessed with a talent but remains undiscovered. Through pure good fortune, I have found many of these gifted people on the Internet and in person. I want to share these "gems" with you by now listing their websites here in my new "The Gifted Arena." After you visit these sites and get to know these special people, let me know what you think of my choices, and if you know of someone who stands apart from the rest in a special and unique form, let me know about them too!

“Dear Author”

QUESTION -

Dear Author,
I published my first book this year. I thought I would sell lots of copies at Christmas but it didn't do well at all. Does that mean my book stinks?
Susie

Dear Susie,
One would assume books would sell during the gift buying season, right? Well honestly, I'm not sure why they don't, but they don't! The best time to sell books is actually from April to June. Why? Again, I'm not sure. But it seems to be a trend you can count on! Hang in there and give your book another chance.
Warm Regards,
Author 101

E-mail me your questions and I will answer them for all to see. Dear Author at caroldenbow@gmail.com
