A 5 Star Review of the Jewels of the Ishamah!
Good news! My novel that was uploaded to Amazon a week ago has received its first review. A five star review! It's also sold more than 12 copies thus far in only a week. I'm really excited to see how my fantasy fiction novel progresses from here!
I may also upload more YouTube videos I find on the subject of Amazon marketing. I'll keep you posted.

Lost City of Z Review/Recommendation
There's a relatively new book out that has been promoted on Amazon.com and NPR radio. It is called The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon. I don't review many non-fiction works since I'm currently a fiction writer but I downloaded an ebook preview of it and it continues to captivate me. Mostly because it was written by an anthropologist and an interest in anthropology was partially what influenced my fictional work, The Jewels of the Ishamah.
In this book, author David Grann gives us surprising views of the Amazonian tribal people through the eyes of legendary British explorer Percy Faucet during his expeditions in the 1920's. Among his finds were that the Amazonian people were better survivalists than Europeans had previously thought--they lived off the land and none of them were starving. He eventually goes on to find elaborate ruins of cities that have been left behind or abandoned by the ancestors of the current tribesmen in his search for a lost city in the jungle.
It's a highly fascinating read for anybody interested in archaeology of anthropology. I highly recommend this book.
