A General Note About Book Reviews

Kaye helped me through my first self-publishing venture with patience, fortitude and humor. She instructed me in the required phases, kept me to a schedule, returned all calls in a timely fashion, and arranged a reading tour for me involving bookstores in New York, Minnesota, and LA, as well as a wonderful SF Bay Area book launch. She also guided me through the review process. Her help was invaluable.

Additionally, she provided counsel on tactics and strategies for ongoing website and social media promotion as well awards submissions.
