Important News Update

I need to update you on a debacle that has consumed me for a few weeks.

To make a long story short, Amazon has “lost” my book, The Dreams of Singers and Sluggers. It does not have a page, picture, or the reviews. The Heart of Bakers and Artists is missing the eBook version and several reviews. Becoming America’s Food Stories is also missing the eBook. Links and QR codes do not work.

While my publisher, Stephanie Larkin of Red Penguin Books, battles the Amazon Goliath, I took a proactive approach. Thanks to my writer pals’ advice, I researched, updated web pages, changed URL links and rerouted QR codes. I still have lots of updating to do on several web pages, but, to date I can go forward and share my progress.

Several online indie bookstores carry my titles. Indiebound.com and Bookshop.org are terrific resources and support the brick and mortar bookstores we all love. Barnes and Noble has all of my books in paperback and eBook as well. Although it is a mega-bookstore, it is just that, a bookstore with all the convenience of one-stop shopping and reviewing.

Currently, I desperately need reviews. Below are the links to my book review web pages. If you had reviewed any of my books on Amazon, could you please copy and paste them on the book review page? If you have a new review to submit, use the handy-dandy link below. You can go to Barnes and Noble’s book pages from the right sidebar of each web page.

The best way to support an author is by writing an honest review. Your book club friends and fellow bibliophiles use the reviews to find their next great read. We all win!

Thank you all for your incredible patience and kindness while I navigate this writer’s journey.

Enjoy ❤️. Like 👍. Share 😊.

You have a voice

Hope you are hungry. **Becoming America’s Food Stories** recalls the tales that have been told around my family’s dinner table. The histories explain the motivations over bowls of macaroni, antics play out while slurping soup, and laughter echoes throughout the dining room. Pull up a seat. There’s always room.

**The Heart of Bakers and Artists** is set in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, 1911. The story follows nine-year-old Lily, an American-born child of Sicilian immigrants, who wants to prove she is not a little kid. To be a big kid in the crowded tenement neighborhoods, she must tackle bigotry, bullies, disasters, dotty bakers, and learn to cross the street by herself

**The Dreams of Singers and Sluggers** picks up where **The Heart of Bakers and Artists** left off.Lily has big dreams to sing out with her powerful voice, but must do EVERYTHING, since Mama fell into a deep depression, the baby is sick, and the “Black Hand” terrorizes the neighborhood, threatening her chance to sing at the New York Highlanders Fourth of July baseball game.

**Antoinette Truglio Martin** is the author of *Hug Everyone You Know: A Year of Community, Courage, and Cancer*. The memoir is a wimpy patient’s journey through her first year of breast cancer treatment.

Great idea. I submitted a review to Barnes and Noble and on the link! I should do this for my own books, but… sigh… someday.

  Commit 2 hrs to changing your links. It will help keep your hard work and wonderful books getting lost in oblivion.
