The New Year is overflowing with promise for one new writer on Authors Den. Valerie Anne Faulkner, a long time resident of Port Richey, Florida has completed her first novel, I Must Be in Heaven, a Promise Kept. The true, inspirational love story has been getting noticed on the internet since early September. Using the internet to network with other writers and readers, Valerie has made quite a few acquaintances and many have been keeping watch over her progress. Mostly from the U.S.A. but also around the globe; her first fan mail came from another Valerie, living in Ireland.
 

 Her husband, Bill, has always dabbled with computers and has built their web-site, Click here to attract visitors and give updates on their developments.
 

Valerie decided to promote and self-publish her book after researching all avenues available. She and her husband, Bill, have owned and operated Faulkner Electric inc. since 1973, and they look at the “book business” as something of a challenge. “We can do this”, Valerie commented. “We’ve made a living here in Pasco County, Florida… owning and operating a business for thirty five years. Being a mid-list author I will keep my tools on, but have to admit the book business is fun and I love this exciting industry.”
 

 Family businesses are usually known for service and good public relations. The couple has found word of mouth advertising best. Daily, after updating web-sites and answering e-mails, Bill and Valerie do electrical work. They have always enjoyed taking the time for a chat with their customers and for months have been telling them about the book. “They are like our extended family,” Valerie commented.  “We made up business cards with all the pertinent information and everyday more and more people have contacted us; and are eager to know …when will the book be out?”
 

Psssst…..It’s out: in E-Book format, yahoo!! Starting today, the full length book is available on their web-site.
 

Thanking you in advance for your patronage,
 

Valerie Anne Faulkner
