"QUIRKY" No More
I've dropped the work "quirky" from the header of my homepage. Although my novels are all clean and free of undesirable elements, I've been afraid some (potential) readers might not agree. What are your thoughts?

Can't Be Too Skeptical
During the past few weeks I have received any number of invitations to have one of my books in somebody's book club. No matter how legit they appeared to be, they invariably ended up mentioning a required fee to pay for some kind of expenses.
I have always responded that I am not going to pay to have my book promoted. Why didn't they mention the fee up front and saved us a lot of back-and-forth discussion? The answer should be obvious: They wanted to hook me so far that I wouldn't mind paying a "small" fee.
Ha! Little to they know me. I don't even break even on the marketing I do.
Today (3/21) was a new type of invitation. The sender, Matt Cooper, pointed out legit reasons why he wanted to feature me and Found in Translation on TodayFM (https://www.todayfm.com/). He even had the graphic pictured below made up while we were still discussing the interview he wanted to do. Pretty impressive, huh?
As we were approaching details, he brought up the fee fact. There went another potentially helpful promotion. However, TodayFM operates out of Dublin, Ireland. I don't know how to use VOIP or whether the interview could've been done that way, but could you image the phone bill?
Thank you, Kathleen, for giving me one more lesson in skepticism.
I hope you enjoy your visit and come again soon.
Best regards,
Roger
