I’m trying another marketing channel. My books are now posted on Readers Review Room (RRR), a site for readers and authors. Mission statement: “To become the ultimate resource to help readers find their next great book, and to provide unparalleled support and exposure for indie authors.”
Take a look at the RRR site. You might find some great books. You can also become a reviewer. Readers Review Room.

I haven’t posted in a while. I’m almost ashamed when I look at my site and see my last post was in April. Frankly, I am disgusted about what is happening in the US, and the true news and “fake news” have been occupying a lot of my spare time.
However, no excuses. My three books, one in French, are still available on Amazon and I would love to have you read them as well as leave a review.
Set on the Ligurian seacoast, a story about relationships and how unexpected, sometimes tragic, events can alter these relationships forever. When Martha Nathan’s dreams of the past begin intruding on her present, she’s left to wonder how they might change her future—and whether she wants them to.
And the French version below:
Situé sur le littoral de Ligurie, une histoire sur les relations et les événements inattendus, parfois tragiques, peuvent modifier ces relations pour toujours. Lorsque les rêves de Martha Nathan sur le passé commencent à s’introduire sur son cadeau, elle se demande comment changer son avenir et si elle le veut.
A tale of betrayal and injustice, confrontation and retribution. Kate Johnson conceives and carries out an ingenious and illegal plan to calm her demons of over 30 years.

Kate Johnson has made it to mid-level management in the IT group of a pharmaceutical company. Her intelligence, technical competence and easy-going personality are among the keys to her success. When Kate watches a television interview of one of her ex-boyfriends, her demons of over 30 years ago are awakened. Over the coming weeks, she cannot shake the resurrected feelings of betrayal and injustice, and vows to confront the men she once loved. She methodically conceives and carries out her ingenious, and illegal, plan. As the two men, her family and friends seek to understand her actions, Kate accepts her punishment.

Promotion time for Il Molo. Haven’t done it in a while. You can purchase at Amazon in paperback or Kindle version or on CreateSpace. It’s not too late to offer it as a Valentine’s Day Gift. (If you are a Goodreads member, you can read other reviews I’ve written. The link is at the bottom of this post.)
Two of the photos that head up my blog page were taken on the beach in Varigotti. One of them shows the boardwalk that leads out to Il Molo. The other one is a view from the top of Punta Crena and is taken from a painting that I used in an earlier post.
And now to the selfie review:
Il Molo by Theresa Nash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It is difficult reviewing your own book. I think the most important thing that I can say is that I enjoyed writing it.
I started the book in 2010 when I had a brilliant idea about writing a novel about a murder in the small village in Italy where we spend at least a week every summer. But then I stopped working on it – unsure of where to take the story (Italian police procedures, etc.) as well as lack ideas on how to go about convincing an established publisher to agree to publish and distribute my novel.
Then in 2013, my aunt self-published her book and introduced me to CreateSpace. So I had my publisher. As for finishing my novel, one day I had a “revelation” and I knew where the story was going.
I will not reveal what happens in Il Molo. I will let you discover it. Happy reading!

Not too bad for three months. Thanks to all of those who helped make these stats possible.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 880 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 15 trips to carry that many people.

It was after I wrote the introduction below destined for a book on my dream life (still in the works) that I decided to incorporate dreams into Il Molo.
Dream in Varigotti
“I have had a dream almost every night since I can remember – even when I was a child. I recall a few dreams from childhood, and one in particular that repeated itself at least twice. But given the frequency of my dream episodes now, I imagine my subconscious was just as active then as it is now.
My dream subconsciousness is fueled by what I have read, what I have seen on television and the movies, and on the myriad of events that I have experienced. You would think that I was a dull, straight forward person since my chosen career path has been treasury, accounting and finance. I am straight forward but by no means dull. My imagination is quite active and working all the time. I remember my first husband used to say that it was not wise to leave me alone for too long because I thought too much.
