Check out my 6 books at MarthaEngber.com and uniting Americans blog, VigilantPositivity.wordpress.com.
So that's my question: do you read the reviews of bookstagrammers? My book tour just started and I want to know who might take a peek.

Want to avoid giving money to corporations this holiday season? Here are 3 tips:

-buy books by small press authors like me
-buy directly from the small presses
-buy from local bookstores, or through BookShop (dot) org, which supports all of the above!
