Dear Margaret,
I need help. Would you consider putting Crestmont on your 2010 Historical Christian Fiction review list? I’d be happy to send you a copy. (We’re friends on Goodreads.) I do not have a publicist, and am trying to get the word out about Crestmont. I am in the process of writing a Bible study/Spiritual discussion questions as an accompaniment to the book. I already have a Readers Guide on my website, but that is geared toward the general public, not necessarily a Christian audience. If you’d like to read more about God leading me to write Crestmont, you can look at “Behind the Story” on my website. http://hollyweiss.com/behind-the-story
Secondly, I see on Goodreads that you review many books before they are actually published. This is something I am very interested in. Can you tell me how you acquire the books early?
Thanks for your help. I know I have asked very direct questions here, but sometimes you just have to ask for help when you need it.
Thank you,
Holly
