My Time With BookLocker Was Well Spent
Angela,
After publishing two books with you (BookLocker.com), I have had five novels traditionally published in the UK and three published in the US, with more on the way. My time with you was well spent.

Simple Ways to Grow Your Market Share By Susan Sundwall
We’re used to hearing the term in relation to finances with visions of bulls and bears dancing in our heads. But, let’s expand our definition of market share a little bit.
