If you want your book to wind up in readers’ hands, you will not want to miss this episode.

Our guest today is the author of more than fifteen books of fiction and nonfiction; runs several ecommerce websites, including an order fulfillment and logistics company working with traditionally published authors; and is the CEO of Stonewater Books, helping independent authors get print books into the retail supply chain.
