April 12th, 2023 has been designated by Amazon as the day my book will be available to the public. The hardback version will be available May 4th 2023. That will be about 12 years from when I wrote the first sentence and began this long arduous journey to completing my first novel. Now I am using all my skills and experience as a freelancer for the last 40 years to be sure it receives the proper sendoff, which all my freelance friends know it is a Herculean task. What I have also learned is that it is no an isolated task. For the book Leaving Cleveland to reach a larger audience I need to ask for your help.

If you have read this far, thank you. I know when the word ” help” used, people either run for the hills or hopefully curiosity keeps them engaged. The help I am asking is very simple and will not take much of your time and is even sort of fun.

• If you have my book take a photo of the book in your enviroment and send it to me. I am creating a sort of ” Where’s Waldo” series to help promote the book. You do not have to be in the photo and I will not publish your full name only the city or town where it was photographed. See Samples below.
• If you read the book and really liked it go to your favorite book seller’s site and write a review and/or rate it …I do have one review on Amazon…and need about 1,000 more.
• Tell your friends about the book and if you are in a book club suggest it to your club.

One final note: I was contacted by the Denver Barnes and Noble to do a book signing in June. I think the day will be June 17th 2023….and when I know for sure I will let you know ….
