"Had I read this book in my 20’s, I’d be financially independent
today. It’s a remarkable blend of fabulous research with clear and
lively writing. You’d pay an expert quite a sum for this caliber of
counsel. That’s why I say that the best investment you make this
year just might be this book. Your second best investment will be the
copies you buy for your children." -Dr. Dwight "Ike" Reighard

A lot of authors want to know whether it’s worth it or not to even go on a virtual tour, not to mention whether it’s better to do it yourself or hire someone.

After completing her six week long tour, Mary Maddox stops by Inkyblots to talk about whether or not she would do it again…

Would I Do It Again?

Mary Maddox, the author of the thriller Talion, is sitting down with her characters Debbie and Hank today at The Plot.
