Brag from HWG Member Ann Marquez!!
Not only did my book Journey Into Probate and Back make the cut for a Midwest Book Review, it also received a five star review!!!! Couldn't wait to share (from Amazon.com):
5.0 out of 5 stars A fine and very much recommended read, October 5, 2011
By
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Journey Into Probate and Back (Paperback)
When one checks out, they can't exactly manage everything to their desires. "Journey Into Probate and Back" is an advisory from Ann Marquez as she suggests how people can better manage their end of life issues to their fullest. With a touch of humor, she walks readers over estate planning, dealing with interlopers such as new wives, what's to be done with one's body, and make a tragic time as bearable as possible. "Journey Into Probate and Back" is a fine and very much recommended read.

A recommend read for your personal library:
In today’s digital age most authors spend hours searching the web for an agent/publisher to submit their work to. I am an old-school girl and still cherish the paper book method when doing research. I recently posted a review on Amazon.com for the 2012 Guide to Literary Agents. This book not only provides a list of agents to submit your work to, you also get tips from the agent on what they are looking for and what they don’t want to see. The correct email address to submit your to and wonderful articles on how to write a query, what goes into a synopsis and attending a writer’s conference. Don’t forget to keep your resource library fresh and updated.
