By Susan A.J. Lyttek I chose to write this blog post because today is my birthday. Receiving gifts is fine, but I tend to get a lot more out of giving and sharing. It’s the same with writing. Don’t get me wrong, I would love for one of my books to become a best seller or to touch people through …
Speaking to Book Clubs, Is It Worth Your Time?
