Do you have a website? Do you manage it yourself or do you have someone run it for you?
My website is www.stephenvmasse.com, and mostly I manage it, though I have a brilliant student, Michael, keep an eye on things to keep it up to date and polished.
How do you deal with a bad review?
I don’t worry too much about bad reviews because there are always going to be people who don’t like certain books. As for myself, if I don’t like a book I don’t spend a lot of energy on giving a bad review – takes too much time and isn’t always productive.

If you are a writer, keep trying to get published or publish yourself. Learn as much about marketing as you can, and keep pushing.

If you’re not a writer but love to read, then you’re already my friend! Please read A Jolly Good Fellow, it’s the only book that comes with a money-back guarantee!
