  Donna B Updated the theme to change the fonts. This is better IMO as it's a typewriter font that looks more like reading a book. The top menu is also changed to be more legible.

  The Aurora Club

  She paces through the hallway with 4 science books and her laptop on top of it. She looks angled down. Not entirely on the floor, but not on the crowd infront of her. Her view is angled at 45 degree from the floor. Cheering from girls surrounds her. The v...

    Mandi Konesni I used an author newsletter swap put on by a popular company. https://www.authorsxp.com

    Once the event was over, I received an email with a .csv file with all the newsletter subscribers and the names of the winners that I had to send books to. (Three winners, total)

    WELL worth the cost!  less
