I'm self published. My books are selling. Most of them are
issue oriented so I have hopes I am helping someone. I want to be a better
writer and I want to write better books. I am blown away by the quality of the
writers Seventh Star has garnered for this book. How could you not want to
support this! I am a backer!
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
