Featured Follower: Rob Blackwell Bec read and reviewed his book, A Soul to Steal , giving it 5 stars. I trust Bec's opinion; after all, she reads more than I do, but when I heard how many books Rob has sold, I was flabbergasted. Despite everyone saying that finding an all-star self-published/Indie author is like finding a needle in a haystack (sorry for the cliche), I can safely say we have done it in short order. I was glad Rob provided the following information in an email. I share part of it with you now.
