Hi there readers and fellow authors. I am Willie Tee and I send out newsletters from time to time to keep you informed of the progress I am making in the promotion of my book, The Winds of Destiny, 2nd Edition. I will mention in my newsletter book festivals, speaking engagements and book signings that I attended or will attend in the future. I also inform readers of other fellow authors that I have met and the titles of their books. Importantly, I want to encourage others to become authors, a dream come true, and to provide them guidance on how to become skillful authors. Newsletter Dated: 12/13/2004 6:06:29 PMSubject: Words of Inspiration The following are bullet comments that have been received from many readers who have read my new Book, The Keepers of the Secret:
"Powerful." "Poignant." "Interesting from beginning to end. A great read." "It is a fitting sequel to your bestselling first book, The Winds of Destiny." Two readers stated, "Really, it got a slight edge over your first book because it revealed more about the ambitions, goals, personalities and thoughts of major characters from your first book and this was electrifying." This is what readers have said and not I. But someone who had not read my book saw me at a book signing this Sunday and revealed the following to me....
A white woman walked up to my table and she was wearing casual clothes but I was intrigued by the emblem of a reglious cross and wreath on her jacket lapel. The woman and kind and tender eyes. I was elevated by her presence. "She stated, "Willie look at me and listen to what I am going to tell you." Your book and your signings are only the surface of what you must do. I congratulate you for making a great start but you have greater tasks that you must accomplish. I commented, "Well, I have traveled from Virgina to Atlanta and Memphis. I have met people crippled with cancer of the body, poor people who could not afford to buy my book and some ill with other afflictions. I have given them free books. Then within minutes after I gave these people free books, readers would walk up and buy four or five books each. This has happened everytime without fail. My book is used in some churches during bible study. Pastors and ministers have read my book and applauded me for its story." The woman then looked at me and stated, "Listen Willie to everything that I am telling you. Do not be distracted. Listen fully. I am a pastor in the service of the Lord. You must remind yourself of the holy scriptures. Then you will find a more defined path that you must travel."
