Have you written a book and now realize that marketing it is as hard – or even harder? Marketing professional Penny Sansevieri is dynamic, exciting and informative. She knows that marketing your book in today’s saturated market (800 books are published every day) can leave you frustrated. She will turn your frustration into determination and optimism – and make you laugh all the way.
Penny says that what once worked (traditional press kits and press releases) no longer work. And newspapers, radio and TV are reducing or eliminating the time and space devoted to authors and book reviews. The INTERNET is now the best road to your book’s success. But how? When? (Hint: Long before you think.) Why? Penny will tell you.
Penny C. Sansevieri, CEO and founder of Author Marketing Experts, Inc., is a best-selling author and internationally recognized book marketing and media relations expert.

MAGIC LANCE:
Mystery & Adventure in the New West, by Hal Simmons
Clear Light Publishing, ISBN 13: 978-1-57416-094-9 and ISBN 10: 1-57416-094-X, 320 pages, 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, $14.95,
September 2008
“In this mystery-adventure, Magic Lance author Hal Simmons presents a collision of forces: the dream of a casino-enriched Indian tribe to form a Native American state, and the dream of a small landowner named Lance Burnett to live the traditions of the West. The tribe’s land ambitions send hot signals all the way to Washington, D.C. Powerful politicians, a billionaire landholder, environmentalists and anti-gambling groups join the fray.
“Along the way, Lance Burnett is entranced with two beautiful women, one his wife, who wants to leave him, the other a sensual young ranch manager who wants to join him.
“Magic Lance is more than an exciting read. It’s an inside look at the complex worlds of tribal gambling casinos and Indian country land rights. Besides, it is beautifully written.”
—Tony Hillerman
