A Few Bits of Trivia About THE MISSING PIECE
I thought I'd share a few facts about my novel for those of you who are interested.
The novel is set in Fredonia, NY, with a few shorter scenes in Dunkirk and Forestville. Jamestown, NY, and Erie, PA, are also briefly mentioned. The novel began as a five page assignment in a creative writing class at Jamestown Community College in the late 1990s.

If You Liked the Movie Fireproof...
If you liked the book (or movie), Fireproof, you may like the The Missing Piece, although it's more intense.

A Thing or Two About Book Marketing
Some of you may know these things, but for those of you who don’t, I have a few tips that may help you. One simple way to get your book in front of more people is to create a facebook page with your book cover as the profile picture. (Do this for each and every book.) When you do this, and when you reference the facebook page as a “book” in your account information, your book cover will automatically show up on every person’s wall (who likes your page) under his or her books or inte...
