I've got a question...


Hello Reader,

I'm sorry for my absence. I try to send a weekly email with marketing advice for you. Last week, I didn't.

But I have an explanation. I've been busy.

Specifically, Colleen and I have been working on a new marketing program I think you'll love.

Here's a sneak peek.

When this launches, I want to do something special - a gift for you.

I'll be sending it via these emails.

So, let me know what you'd like to see.

The poll will close after seven days, so vote now!

Have an excellent day,

Molly Layton-Simpson

We had quite a dump of snow in Southern Alberta this morning. One minute, it was a gorgeous spring day, the next we were in a blizzard! If you don't like the weather in Alberta, just wait a minute. If you do like it ... well. The farmers will be happy. Water management people will be happy. What's uncomfortable in the moment can be good for us in the long run. And we definitely needed this moisture. What about you? What do you need? Is there anything you need related to writing and publishing...
