I agree with the sentiment here. A lot of these how-to books are written by people that do not know how-to, otherwise they would be doing so. I guess it is nice that people want to share the secret of their success, but I feel that often it is not success they are sharing but some poor marketing trick they are applying to try to hoodwink others.
I have just signed up to this site and wanted to say hi. I write steamy romance shorts, novelettes, novellas and novels available on Amazon. I am looking forward to intteracting with readers and other authors on this site.
