Sites I've had good relationships with in the past, just don't have time to get to my books now. <br /><br />Even with all the good things happening for authors and writers, the reality is that, in this business, things change.

How it was isn't how it will be. wry grinPaulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673963438671468441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-46082892098083450472013-08-15T00:38:12.763-06:002013-08-15T00:38:12.763-06:00Thanks, Laurie. :)Thanks, Laurie. :)Pippa Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146591827060731958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-19418208469556056902013-08-14T18:24:09.995-06:002013-08-14T18:24:09.995-06:00Pippa, thanks so much for all your efforts on beha...Pippa, thanks so much for all your efforts on behalf of the Tales from the SFR Brigade anthology. It's a wonderful collection of stories that I think most reviewers are going to love, provided it gets into their hands. Kudos to you for all your effort and research. That's an amazing list of review sites!L. A. Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198035351359321392noreply@blogger.com
