1 PEOPLE SAY THAT::
How to connect with readers. The big question.
My novel, THE TEXICANS, was published in 2006 by Soho Press to great reviews. One reviewer said it should be put on the same shelf with Texas, Lonesome Dove, and Pale Horse, Pale Rider. I thought readers would snap it up. They didn't. My agent tells me to "Get out there and hunt." If you’d like me to send you a copy for review, or if you’d like to interview me, contact me at shenina@aol.com or telephone me at (714) 842-2398.
This is my seventh published novel. My new blog is Nina Vida on Writing. On my blog on May 22, 2009, I discuss Irene Nemirovsky's novel, SUITE FRANCAISE.
Sincerely,
Nina Vida
