I've read exactly two blogs, by authors (I own over 6K books) over the years. So....take that for what it's worth.

That you have Horses, Birds, a MONKEY ain't gonna do it! Cats, Maybe

If I want to know more about the Author:
SYNOPSIS is almost everything.
NYT Best seller is ZIP
Amazon Best Seller ZIPsquared
