Before I set out to pimp my own books, I read a very excellent marketing and PR book called The New Rules of Marketing and PR by David Meerman Scott.

★★★★★ My review of Fairyland, the 4th Songs of Magic book by JL Bryan. I got a sneak peek of this book before release and did some proofing for JL Bryan. This book is amazing, check it out on Kindle! Note- My birthday joke was poorly planned. I didn’t realize when I recorded it that…
