Have you ever hit the wall in attempting to market your books? What if I told you that this book by Rob Eager could be the turning point in significantly increasing your book sales? Rob’s latest series of three books is once again well worth one’s time and money. So many authors suffer in this internet age from how to market their amazing books.

Eager in ‘The Author’s Guide to Write Text that Sells Books‘ helps unpack this mystery in practical ways. He explains in this book that with people being self-centered and distracted, we not only need to tell them what’s in it for them (Why should they buy our book? How will it concretely benefit them?). Even more important, we need to get their attention in the first place. Rob convincingly explains how busy and overwhelmed our potential readers are. The key to breaking through the ‘fog’ is the power of the hook, which Rob masterfully explains. He starts with the helpful expression “What if I told you that…?” I am finding his advice on the marketing hook to be a missing key in more effectively selling my books. My one critique is that I would have valued more stories in the book that illustrate how his ‘hook’ book actually works in real life. It would have been helpful to have real-life stories not just from the superstar authors, but also lesser-known authors who have been able to measurably increase their book sales through applying Rob Eager’s principles in his book. I look forward to Rob’s future marketing books, as his creative practicality is paying great dividends. Do yourself a favour, buy Rob’s book, and measurably increase your book revenue.

“I’m afraid there’s been an accident…”

Sandy Brown and her family have just moved to Spokane, Washington where her husband, Scott, is pastoring a new church. With a fresh start, Sandy is determined to devote more time to her four children. But, within weeks of settling in their new life, the Brown family is plunged into turmoil.

Sandy receives shocking news that her children aren’t safe, which brings back haunting memories of the trauma she experienced as a girl. Then, the unthinkable happens…

A brutal attack puts Sandy on the brink of losing everything she’s loved. Her faith in God and the family she cherishes are pushed to the ultimate limit.

Is healing possible when so many loved ones are hurt? Are miracles really possible through the power of prayer? Can life return to the way it was before?

Blue Sky reveals how a mother’s most basic instinct isn’t for survival… but for family.
