Books & publicity

I haven't posted in awhile, its been a whirl wind of happenings here, I have started my own site, and I tend to post most things over there now.

I was going through my rss feeder today and I realized that there are a lot of good books out there that are just not getting enough of a push. By push I mean really any at all.
That's sad when you think about it.
Books are one of the things that make all the difference in this world. Can you imagine how empty this world would be with out books?

How different would you be had you not read your favourite book so many times you wore out the cover?

But we would be kidding ourselves if we think for one second money and the books subject matter don't influence what gets promoted and what doesn't.

Sad when you think about it, because it's pretty much the same with everything and not just books.
Really great news and discoveries in science, sub sciences, etc get back burners to things like celebrity gossip and which ones having the daily break down and ending up sentenced to jail time.

It's time for a change...
It's time for me to start plotting the next idea.
