Essentials Magazine, July Edition 2007

Hello Dave and Emily,

Thanks for the nice words of encouragement. I had actually been contacted by one of the journalists from Essentials...all very out of the blue. So, it was a nice surprise when she contacted me and an even better treat when I saw that I didn't get axed during the final edit. Last year, May time, I used the press dispensary (mentioned on a podcast many months ago) and had been contacted by a few local journalists at that time. I don't know if my info had been sitting on her desk or if she's a friend of a friend of a friend, but I am very pleased that she did contact me.
As for sales, the mag has only been out for a few days and my hits are already much much higher and the sales have had a bit of a boost as well.
It's nice when something really good happens, after all those hundreds of hours spent on self-promoting that sometimes seems to get you nowhere.

Hope you two are both doing well and enjoying great success,

Cassandra
