Author Brenda B Taylor
"Books with out Borders allows authors and readers to connect in a special way - over the internet that birthed eBooks in the first place. Sure there are other sites, and personally I have listed on them because in today's market you have to cast your bread upon the cyberspace waters. However, Book without Borders, though small, has a great potential to grow and both Sara and Lynda offer great, personal service. You are not just an email in a sea of thousands. Here is a place where readers can meet authors and vice-versa in a cozy atmosphere, almost reminiscence of a hallowed library. You can almost smell the nostalgic aroma of paper and publishing ink mingled with Old English polish and binding glue. Except no one will shush you! It also never closes. So, feel free to browse the shelves as long as you wish. "
Julie B Cosgrove, author
