The Salvation Army & Novels

Did you know that a good place to buy books is the Salvation Army (www.salvationarmyusa.org). At most stores there is a section for books. And while it is true, the books can be older and out of print, it is a good place to find some of the best author's to date. If you don't mind reading books that are set before the age of the cellular phone or the internet as we know it, the finds at the Salvation Army are tremendous.  I have bought Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Robert Ludlum, James Patterson, David Baldacci and many others.                                                                                                                        I have sometimes found less known authors with what I considered to be fine work.  That is to say, I enjoyed their book and even went as far as seeking other books by them. One such author was Christopher Reich. I bought his first novel, "Numbered Account" and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I then went in search of his other offerings. I did not find them at the Salvation Army, Instead, I believe it was at Target's book section.  The books were, "The First Billion" and "The Runner." Interestingly enough, what draws me to the books at the Salvation Army are the book covers and the titles. I then read the blurb to make up my mind on whether to spend the time on the book. The prices for the books usually run from one dollar to three dollars. It depends on whether it is paperback or hardcover. I found out about this from a fellow reader I met at Barnes and Nobles.  He saw me
looking at what the store had to offer and struck up a conversation.  That is when he told me of the books at the Salvation Army. Well, I thought, I would share that tidbit with you. Hope it broadens your horizon. Take care.

Ebooklaunch

In writing "Malcolm," I used Ebooklaunch (www.ebooklaunch.com).  They are responsible for my cover page and my formatting.  They did a stupendous job on both.  Their prices were reasonable and they worked with me to get everything done properly.  I was even surprised to see my chapters in the front of the book were linked to my actual chapters among other things.  If you are just starting out on your self publish journey, Ebooklaunch is a great partner to work with.  I definitely will use them on my next book.
