• Indie Authors: Don’t Forget about Your Earlier Releases

  It’s easy for an author to forget about those first couple of books they published while caught up in the frenzy of doing everything possible to promote the newest release. But it would be a mistake to most completely past your former works without trying to make them work for you. One of the best…
