Wondering if there’s an audience for your book?

When I open the Modern Truck Drivers Facebook page and see over 1000 friend requests waiting, I feel prettty sure I have an audience for the photo essay book  of modern drivers.

Now, with the new novel nearing completion- a mystery series featuring a sassy female trucker.. well, I am all smiles on this day in Georgia.
