I want to contact him about Universal Buzz and his risd student. I live in the Providence risd area. <BR/><BR/> I've checked the web but have found no e-mail address for him. Do you have one? While I'm waiting for your response I'll make a few other calls. <BR/><BR/>If you are truly grumpy, you probably would benefit from reading WHEN WISHES COME TRUE, a fable for wise children and sensitive adults form 8-108. <BR/><BR/>Love Each Day,<BR/>Barbara SlaterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656468.post-1127181394190470742005-09-20T02:56:00.000+01:002005-09-20T02:56:00.000+01:00Mr. Allen,I got quite a chuckle from your post.

That's why I try to do smart things with the funds I absconded with after said knocking. The website you noted as being very professional (thank you)<BR/>was done by a brilliant student at the Rhode Island School of Design for less than a thousand bucks. However, your remaining points were spot on. It's tough for a debut novelist to get space on global shelves. I hired Universal Buzz to do some good old-fashioned marketing on my behalf; to put the book in front of informed readership. The product will stand on its own merits, or it will not.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for mentioning Manhook.<BR/><BR/>Ken RatcliffeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
