Hi Jake,
I have a blog – 1001 Secrets of Successful Writers – at http://www.darrellpitt.com
I would love to email half a dozen quick questions to you about your writing and your opinions of ebook publishing. I would then post your answers on my site and load a link to your site.
Would that be okay?
Darrell.
