It takes a city to sell a book

Perhaps I should rename the title of my blog. How about It takes an author, an idea, emotional expression, creativity, an editor, a publisher, a marketer, a little money, and the determination of barn swallows that build multiple bird nests on my front porch. Yes it takes that and more to come up with a book that a reader is willing to read, and even pay a few dollars for that privilege.

This is my first attempt to navigate a new website for the promotion of my memoir, Victims Make The Best Birdhouses by Larry L Franklin. The ebook and paperback will be available in a matter of hours. My website can be reached at authorllfranklin.com
