Purple Snowflake Marketing recently received a 5 star rating !! ...and this awesome review: "Purple is my favorite color and Purple Snowflake Marketing is my favorite marketing book that I've ever read!  Writing has been one of my passions since early childhood, and learning the other skills necessary to actually get a book published has been a fun adventure, but marketing has not come so naturally.  In the face of this big challenge, I appreciated reading a book by authors who have walked this road, sharing their insight, experience and practical advice that any author can implement.  I especially appreciated the tax tips and the chapter on building an audience.  Excited to work on my business and marketing plan for the book I published last month based on everything I learned from the Brummets!"
