Hallo Blog friends:
Writing a book is not one of the easiest things to do. Yet there are many people that do it. Go to any library, shelves upon shelves of books greet you. Books about any subject, some fiction, some nonfiction, some books on how to grow a garden, how to built a piece of furniture, books about cars, about religion, the list is simply endless. Now there is something completely new. Electronic books you can simply download and read on your tablet, Ipad, Ipod, laptop, desktop or even on your smart phone. How many books are there on the electronic bookshelf? Estimates are over two million. Now the author has the job not only of writing his masterpiece but publishing it on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, WaveCloud or many other publishers. His job also calls for advertising, promoting, in short, anything to make his epic stand out over the rest of the pack. As the author of Polynesian Dreams, this has become my task. My book, biased as I am, is a terrific read. It is filled with adventure, romance, yes sex, but most of all it is inspirational. It shows you by example how to become your best friend. Years ago there was a bestseller titled, Looking out for number one. My book would fit this  category. Yes so many are not their own best friend but you could call them their own worst enemy. This is the main theme of Polynesian Dreams. I am making several short videos each month and posting them on the social media. My greatest home is for the book to be discovered. As a unknown, unpublished author, your chance of an major established literary agent or publisher to be discovered are close to zero. You need to be inventive, the short videos are my method of bringing Polynesian Dreams to the attention of prospective readers. It cost only $3.79 with my proceeds going to an Animal Shelter. Look for the sample chapters at any of the electronic publishers.
Thanks again for your attention. Johan Van Oldenbarneveld,
