BOOK REVIEW - Postcards from Sicily by Nancy barone. Fabulous, thought-provoking book about mother-daughter relationships, atonement, second chances and letting go of the past. Delighted to be on the book blog tour for this one! sunflowerpublishing.com/book… @RandomTTours

I discovered the inspiring idea of hosting writing retreats some years ago. I envisioned sharing my love for Italy, books and writing, creating a nurturing space for new writers to explore their creativity and for seasoned authors to rejuvenate their skills

I have a question to Indie Authors. How do you get people to leave reviews? My latest novel has gotten so much positive traction, but only 25 reviews? What is the secret?
