My favorite part about having Timely Persuasion out in the world is reading various reactions to it. A few weeks ago we talked about a negative review in a post that spawned a good dialogue with the reviewer in the comments. Now it’s time for the other side of the coin. Below are some excerpts…

A Negative Review
It was bound to happen eventually. 215 days after Timely Persuasion was released, a critic has emerged who didn’t like it and felt strongly enough to write about it. His name is Gavin Williams, and in the interest of honesty and full disclosure I’m posting it here: Unfortunately, I don’t need more persuasion… I’ve always…
Local Author Done Good
From my hometown paper, The Easton Journal:
Paperback Writer
Timely Persuasion is now available at Paperback Junction at 669 Washington Street in Easton, MA. Paperback Junction is probably the first book store I ever frequented as a child.

There are times when I wonder why…
First Review!

The Movie
Got a call a few days ago from a friend in the industry. He circulated his copy of Timely Persuasion around the office and said it generated interest faster than anything he’d ever seen.
