A Fat Girl's Ultimate Guide to Thinness and Happiness: promotion techniques

I created a separate website for Ricardo's book "A Fat Girl's Ultimate Guide to Thinness and Happiness."

Here's the site:

Article Marketing and stuff

I asked Ricardo to write a dozen very brief articles about his weight management book, A Fat Girl's Ultimate Guide to Thinness and Happiness. He obliged. I've posted the articles to a whole bunch of article directories.

Some of the articles discuss Rubens' paintings. On the website, I added a page to illustrate those, and attached an "add to cart" button. The book is available in both print and electronic formats. It is a revolutionary book. Really.

Waiting for results.

Jenna Jameson: the Chief of Two Dozen Hideous-looking Highway Robbers

Ricardo's new novel is an historical comedy/adventure/romance/action piece. It is both hilarious and quite serious (in spots). Here's the blurb for it:

Even though the Declaration of Independence has been signed and the Revolutionary War is in full swing, Lady Crawford is not impressed. She has her own agenda - keeping her New England estate together while her estranged husband, Lord Crawford, a roguish spy, is away on business. Wealthy landowner in the daytime, robber chief by night, Lady Crawford suddenly falls in love with a good-looking shipbuilder who promptly turns her over to the authorities. Assisted by her husband, she escapes and spends the following adventurous years contemplating revenge.

I've just put it up on the site, temporary cover design and all.

An Open Letter to the President

A joke's a joke, and yet, as the saying goes, every joke contains a grain of truth. This one seems to have a lot of truth in it, I think. I only realized this after finishing the article.
