Travel with me on the journey that is After the Auction

After the Auction is out!  People are reading it.  Many have even told me they liked, even loved it.

Now is really the time for BUZZ--specific marketing tactics like publicity, interviews, appearance, social networking. These are up to me.  But what's the most important element?  It's the reader who likes or loves it spreading the word.

Increasingly, even for established writers going the so-called traditional route of agent-publishing company-editor, it's the writer who must light the fuse to get sales going.

People who know me know how much I like to travel. I've had the good fortune to have ventured around the United States and around the globe since childhood. Writing After the Auction I've described as a journey, a long journey, with many fits and starts--and false starts—along the way. Like real travel, though, it's all a learning experience. As a little boy of seven once said to his mother before she took the exam that would propel her toward a major career change, "Congratulations just for doing it!"

After the Auction is available on this web site via Pay Pal and on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and from independent bookstores through the Ingram catalogue.  WATCH FOR THE RELEASE OF THE E-BOOK in September 2010!

"It’s a really good, truly action-packed read, especially for anyone with an interest in Judaica and the world of Nazi-looted art. I’ve been following this issue for more than 40 years — ever since my days as curator of the Judaica collections at New York’s Jewish Museum. So, I was impressed with how authentic the novel feels, even while it entertains... this short and fast-paced novel is a significant accomplishment."    Tom Freudenheim,  THE JEWISH DAILY FORWARD   Go the Media Room to read the complete review.
