Deadly Memories and Shadow Journey will be at BEA

03/19/2013

I'm excited to announce that Deadly Memories and Shadow Journey will both be represented at BEA this year by Kait Neese. Our goal is to sell foreign rights to these works. Contact @kaitneese if you're interested.

She's also helping me get my marketing data in the best working order. One of the tasks was to see how many pages of Google hits I get and I had an interesting result. I discover
