Chuck,
Is your book out yet? My book is fiction but it's set in northern Virginia so I enjoy reading about the area. Let me know where I can find it :)

While I'm here, thought I'd drop everyone a note that I have just kicked off a 2-week Virtual Book Tour to promote my book Shades of Gray: A Novel of the Civil War in Virginia (takes place in northern Va.). It has climbed to #1 on Amazon in the romance/historical/U.S. category and won numerous awards. For a list of Tour Stops, stop by my website at www.jessicajamesbooks.com.

Hi Chuck,
Places like Oatlands and Morven Park in Leesburg might carry it in their gift shops. Also the Aldie Mill - any of those touristy places that have gift shops and people wanting to learn more about the area.

Greetings!

I'm filling out the Marketing Questionnaire for my forthcoming book The Hidden History of Northern Virginia (The History Press) and would appreciate some help with potential non-traditional sales sites (as specific as possible). Independent book stores, non-book retail outlets, local events, special sales opportunities such as company promotions.

Thanks,

Chuck

My name is Vangie WIlliams and I live in King George, Virginia. I have written Broken Life - A fight for Forever - Book 1 (10 book series). I want to team up with other Virginia authors and have a book club/book fair/book signing with several Virginia writers.

My book Broken Life - A Fight for Forever is about love cursed in Old Africa. A young African maiden falls in love with a Frenchman captured by her father's warriors. As she watches and cares for him over the next twenty-one days, she is captivated by his beautiful green eyes and his genuine smile and breaks tribal law when she asks her father to be his bride instead of her chosen husband. Her father King Sundiata could not refuse his youngest daughter and allows her to leave Africa with the Frenchman; what she doesn't know is that the tribal shaman has placed a curse on her and all of her female descendants. "21 suns you feel in love and left your people, 21 moons shall you love your girl child".
Jump forward to our time and young Bethel began having dreams of African and French women who speak to her and show her the paths of their lives.

Broken Life - A Fight for Forever - Book 1 is about Marguerite, the third women in her dreams and the woman who writes the first entry in the journal that her deceased mother left her. Her dreams are so vivid that she is a shadow watching the past in the future.

This is a romantic tale of steamy passion and boiling fervor, which also wraps itself in the arms of virtually unexplored history. Moreover, this zeal-filled story crosses time, racial, cultural lines as well as the vast Atlantic. From generation to generation, a special lineage of rare love is interrupted, entwined lives are broken, and fragile dreams are shattered because of an unrelenting curse rooted in the motherland. Yet, the rigorous fight to break the curse's menacing grip steadily climaxes as young Bethel gains wisdom through her visions as well as the truths spoken from her father’s reluctant tongue. And then there is the cherished wooden box, a treasured but mysterious heirloom, which connects Bethel to both the curse and a counter to the same. Upon possessing the box, she discovers the nearly elusive path to victory. Through a series of visions, which first take her to the mid 1800’s, she sees the way…
