You're an inspiration, Brian. Thanks for bringing me to hopeful writer tears this morning (no big deal - happens at least once a day). You have one of the best attitudes about publishing I've heard in a long time. For that reason, I will keep listening to your wisdom. 😁 And reading your stories. 🌠

Someone recommended Booklinker to me - it gives you a link that auto-forwards the clicker to the relevant Amazon store. Quite useful for putting links in newsletters.

Big congrats on the book, Brian!! And your thoughts about writing and publishing really hit home with me today! The unplanned things often have a way of being the best things. "Storytelling is a powerful force," amen to that!

Your words of encouragement are timely for me. I think trying to start a Substack and a Twitter on the same day may have been biting off more than could be chewed, in hindsight, and I am feeling in over my head on both platforms. Ah well, I must endure!

I hope your book does well on Amazon. I have enjoyed the stories of yours that I have read thus far, and looking forward to reading the rest in time. Best regards, Rob.

This is totally exciting, Brian! What a way to start the new year. With regard to the words above, I especially value your comment: "I hear a lot of talk from publishers about knowing your audience or writing for your audience. I get that, but that’s a ridiculous way for an author to craft a story." This observation should be screamed from the rooftops! How many writers have self-destructed on the rocks of niche marketing....
