As some of you know, I have recently published the updated version of my book, – Question Everything: Overcoming Passivity in a Perilous World. Now I am faced with the daunting task of marketing it. Naturally, I have been approached over the years by numerous agencies offering to market my books for me, by paying them several hundred to thousands of dollars. Even if I had that kind of money to give them, a quick Google search will reveal that most of them do not live up to their claims to help an author reach literary success. In fact, most of the books that are accepted by traditional publishers, rarely reach book fame.
As with most things in my life, I prefer to approach marketing in my own way. I did not write the book with the intention of making the New York Times best seller list, or in hopes of becoming an overnight sensation. I have no unrealistic expectations. I wrote Swan Sanctuary’s Guide to Responsible Swan Stewardship because I saw a need that I knew I could fill. It was for a tiny niche market and written for the sole purpose of helping swans. I wrote Question Everything because I felt that I was supposed to write it. When writing this blog, it never feels like it is “I” who am writing it. I am a conduit through which the words flow. I do not plan ahead, but merely ask, “What should I write about today?” Then, the words begin to flow.
Marketing is not something that I relish doing. Like most writers, I am quiet and reclusive. I must find a way; however, to give the book a nudge – to help it find its way into the hands of those who will gain something from reading it. Therefore, I am offering a free paperback copy to the first 25 people who message me, requesting a copy. Since I will also be paying the shipping, I must limit this offer to only those of you who live in the United States.
If you have already purchased the book, I offer you my deepest heartfelt thanks. With the holidays approaching, you may want to consider giving the book as a gift, to someone you know will benefit from reading it. Remember, more copies (including hardback and Kindle formats) can be found by going to:

I hope that after reading the book you will tell your friends about it. Remember, all you have to do is be one of the first 25 people to message me, to receive your free copy – autographed, if you like.
