I know some authors think they are essential to pulling in new readers. I was curious as to your position on them. <br /><br />StacieDM<br />user1123 AT comcast DOT net<br />USStacieDMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754723103765990170.post-60414914297132102162011-02-22T13:02:42.800-06:002011-02-22T13:02:42.800-06:00Love the trailer....and believe it or not, I am th...Love the trailer....and believe it or not, I am the mother who shares my books with my daughters (yes, they are old enough lol).Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254868736032100690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7754723103765990170.post-87971050436571968232011-02-18T19:06:03.596-06:002011-02-18T19:06:03.596-06:00I love your book Darklands: A Vampire's Tale (...I love your book Darklands: A Vampire's Tale (Darklands Vampires.<br />Unfortunately I live in the interior of Alaska and had to wait days to get enough cell service to update my Kindle to get it downloaded.

What do you do about writters block (or in my case Character Block.) <br /><br />Thank you in advance.

But I gladly let her read everything else- once it's done of course. <br /><br />Though I would value my mom's feedback.

My intention was to NOT share with my immediate family. There are just some things they don't need to know.<br /><br />When my Mother found out I didn't share with her, she was hurt and insisted I send her the links.
