    A must read for authors!

    As a traditionally published author of "Communications from the Other Side: Death Is Not the End of Life, Love or Relationships," I wanted to get my book into the hands of as many people as possible. I also knew I could count on my publisher for only so much towards this end.

    I bought several books hoping to learn how to sell more of my books and quite honestly, NONE OF THEM compare to this one. I read the book from cover to cover and after applying just ONE of the suggestions I read, there was a jump in the sales of my book!

    Whether you are self published, or "traditionally" published, you'll want to not only read this book, but follow the step by step program in it. You'll see your book start to sell like "wildfire."

    Mine did!

    Rob Eagar's book, "Sell Your Book Like Wildfire" is power-packed with step-by step usable instructions, showing the importance of choosing the right words and phrases to market your book, create a banner, a signature for e-mails, using your website to create utmost impact, and so much more. I was very encouraged especially to learn in the first chapters that "kindling" is what starts a wildfire. Nobody tries to ignite a log using a match or two, or even a box of matches. One has to use small kindling, and that kindling is word of mouth, people to people spreading the message about your book. That was so encouraging to me, as I am a new author of Christian fiction for children titled "Biff and Becka's Springtime Adventures" also available on Barnes & Noble. I highly recommend Rob's book; It has already helped me a lot!
