FB, Promo, and the Etiquette Dance

My apologies to U2, but at the request of a couple of folks I’m throwing up a quick promo post. In no ways is this intended to be exhaustive–but it is a way to get the party started. First off, there are folks who have sold a lot more books than me that have touched…

Promotion (Not Posthumous) Post #1–In the Navy (and / or Army, Marines, Air Force…)
Howdy everyone! Sorry I’ve been so quiet over the last few days. I’ve been doing National Novel Writing Month, a.k.a. “NaNoWrimo.” For those who don’t know, information can be found at nanowrimo.org .
