Every Writers’ Wednesday, a successful self-published author shares a favourite book promotion tip here
Meet Canadian author Francis Guenette

Oh Susan – if only I had the time. I do plan to do a series of posts that go into more detail on the actual nuts and bolts of the publishing process this time around when I had a lot more control.
Another good guest blog, Francis. :)) Here is the comment I left:
A terrific interview. I really enjoyed getting the ‘inside scoop’! Thank you for sharing your valuable and hard-earned information!
Thanks, Hazy. I’m starting to think you might be seriously contending for that free book prize mailed right to your door! Good luck.
Ha ha! I almost feel bad commenting, Francis…I’m really not trying to win your book – I’d rather buy it and support you that way! My Kindle is on its way. 🙂
I just like to read and comment on all of your posts.
And I just love such a follower 🙂
