September already. Can you believe it? Labor Day here in the states. I took this picture during this week&#8217;s camping trip.

A certain author (the first self published author to sell a million Kindle books) admits to shelling out several thousand dollars for positive reviews. Not only do I find the practice immoral and deceitful, I also don&#8217;t have that kind of money. So you can rest assured that all reviews on my books are legit.
