“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” – Roosevelt
One to remember.
Jane is fighting that good fight. Her paperback and e-versions of her book are getting rave reviews, but sales would be helpful. If you haven’t read Elephant Girl, please consider buying a copy and reading it. Here is my review, written after reading an advance copy of the manuscript.
Buy that book. You won’t be sorry.
Also, Jane has a Kickstarter campaign going to try and get this book promoted at the next level. Self-publishing is a bear, and the author bears all of the costs and risk. If you’re interested in investing alongside her, please hurry — time is running out.
Here’s the video she made for the campaign:
