This week the guys kick off the show calling out the new sites where the podcast is available. Jeff recaps the amazing week of reviews he had for Make the Right Choice, A Sound Beginning and Hat Trick 3: Penalty Shot/Hat Trick Overtime: Reunion. Then it's time to talk about the books they've read: Andrew Grey's The Lone Rancher, Eli Easton's The Stolen Suitor and Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy's Us (Sarina will be on the show March 7 to talk about that book). Will celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Valley of the Dolls and gives a shout out to his sister, Jessica, who has a book in KindleScout called Awash in Talent. They also review the answers to last week's Question of the Week (you can see all the answers in the shownotes).

Jeff and Will both read Chris Cook's Write to Market: Deliver a Book that Sells and the talk about that and how it relates to the one year anniversary of the release of Jeff's first self-published title, Flipping for Him. Self-publishing also leads to this week's Question: "Does who publishes a book affect your purchase decision?"
