Networking

I guess because most of my life I worked for the same company I never saw the value of networking.  Now, suddenly, I'm trying to sell books and it is all in the network.  Some of the results:  a friend offering to show my next book to her agent, a bookstore in Washington listing my book on the strength of a purchased commercial review, getting networked to Indie bookstores because I publicized my signing at the bookstore in Clinton.  

The world gets smaller as you network.

Reviews

In Season:
"Whether you love horses or not, this book will delight you. And...it's a great read anyway! There is mystery, romance, and marvelous human interest. I read it in one sitting but I had to go back later and take it slower to savor the details. "

The Shepherd's Image:
"Just as the man in the painting is totally unlike the standard image of a good shepherd, Ms. Wible is showing herself to be a writer unafraid to veer far and away from standard fiction themes. "

In Between Goodbyes:
"Strong characters carrying heavy psychological baggage feature in this insider's look at life in New York's theater district. A touch of mystery makes (this)...a fascinating contemporary romantic tale. ...(this book) will be enjoyed by readers who like a good hearted heroine, a worthy man who stays true to his love and the smell of greasepaint."
