Linda Boulanger
was inspired by Amazon Top 10 Bestselling Author
Andrew E. Kaufman
| An inspiration to all of us trying to "make it" in the world of writing, Andrew E. Kaufman climbed to the top of the bestsellers lists with his first two novels both sharing #1 spots in their respective genres at the same time. He also claimed a spot in the top ten on the Top Authors to Watch lists for both April and May after selling more than 100,000 books during that period as an Indie Author. And, if that wasn't enough, he has recently announced a representation agreement with the world renowned literary agency, Trident Media Group in New York City. For those of us wondering where this crazy world of writing can lead us, spend some time on Drew's website and blog. I've only skimmed the top of his accomplishments. I know his rise to the top has given me great hope for what a writer can accomplish on his or her own and I hope it will inspire you as well. I'm very proud of this man and pleased to be able to call him friend. ~Linda |
