  1. Thanks Kristine for your thoughts on publicising indie books on the net. For authors setting out on this somewhat scary path it’s good to know the best way of going about it, and the methods that can take a lot of time and effort, but give a poor result.

    Thanks for being one of my influencers. You’re a pioneer and an inspiration.
