I Ain't Said Nothin' But A Word...

It's hard out here for a writer. Reviews matter. They make it more likely that other people will buy our books, and sales are what will keep our writing careers afloat. So please post a review on Amazon.com , BN.com , Goodreads.com , or anywhere someone might be persuaded to give my book or another author's books a try. Please help an author where it really counts!  Thank you!

It’s summertime! That means it’s time to sit back, relax and just have fun, right?  Wrong! For Marlena Fernadez, Gloria and Valerie James, and Max and Mickey Martin summer is all about life lessons in these three, page-turning tales about kids in search of The Perfect Summer. Synopsis of each Story Jackie Lee A Lesson for Summer Fourteen old twins, Gloria and Valerie James, had the ideal plan to spend their summer vacation. They would spend their summer shopping, talking about boys, and going to the movies.

I've never been a big fan of self-help books. I’ve read my fair share and more times than not felt like they didn’t apply to me or the problems discussed didn't really mirror my own issues. I always had a wealth of excuses to justify avoiding them all together. Recently, I was excited to support author and friend Val Daye . Val is family and so I purchased a copy of her new book Driven by The Drama . Then Val gave me a copy. An ordained minister Val is also an author, speaker, life coach, and training expert with a sincere passion for people and a genuine commitment toward their success. Now I’m going to be honest. Driven by the Drama threw me for a loop. It took several attempts before I was actually able to finally sit down and finish it.
