Here's how to sell books in the modern age:
1.) From your office. John F. Saunders sells 25 The Last Spartan http://www.savpress.com/Details.asp?ProductID=156 books a week on average across the counter of his office in Greensboro, N.C. Would that Barnes & Noble could so so well.
2.) Jay Ford Thurston sold 10 Hemingway books at an Eau Claire, WI Trout Unlimited speech that he gave. He sold 20 books at a Mazomanie, WI craft show and then another 10 Out of the Rainbow http://www.savpress.com/Details.asp?ProductID=151 books at two school talks he gave. All this in one week.
An old friend of mine who is a multi-millionaire has said more than once, "Nothing happens unless sombody sells something."

John Saunders wrote to say:
My minister's wife read the book and liked it. Her husband told me he was looking forward to reading it, but that his wife had told him it would take a long time to finsih. I replied that it was really a quick read. He said he'd heard it was a quick read but his wife had said he would have to stop every couple of pages to pray for me.
COOL!

SPARTAN Buzz Building
Tis nice indeed to see a plan come together. John F. Saunders' new book, The Last Spartan is getting some good advance notice and some downright excellent exposure in the Greensboro, NC media. He recently wrote to say that the host of the widely acclaimed Murphy in the Morning drive-time radio talk show read the book and loved it. John is scheduled to be a guest on the talk show on June 12th, the morning before the national book launch at the Barnes & Noble store at the Friendly Center in Greensboro.
If you would please pass this on, maybe The Last Spartan has a chance to go viral and end up as a movie with The Rock playing Frank Kane.
Pass it on, please.
