BBB isn&#039;t very useful. They are not a real guv agency. They just charge businesses to use their logo. Might be worth looking into &quot;7 on Your Side&quot; or similar local news org for help. Sometimes local politicians or even the tourist board (since you were visiting) can help. Good luck!]]></description>

&quot;I didn&#039;t even know Marty had books because &lt;b&gt;I basically didn&#039;t care.&quot;&lt;/b&gt;

Yep.

You and 7.45 billion other people &quot;on this planet.&quot;

Excellent assessment. The latest book with my name on it has sold around 80,000 copies. With one exception (a book of short stories published on Amazon as an experiment), I&#039;ve had traditional publishers. The real money on books, however, unless you&#039;re writing romances or another &quot;can&#039;t get enough of them&quot; genre, comes from being a personality who writes books and has what publishing calls a &quot;platform.&quot; Marty has that, but as you referenced about the majority of the population, it&#039;s decidedly small. Tony&#039;s book had an extra element to it that made me hope it became at least a TV movie - woman in jeopardy. 20 years ago when I sold some young adult mystery novels, I was asked by an editor at Kensington to write &quot;wom jep&quot; novels. I probably should&#039;ve done it as I&#039;d have made a lot more money, but that&#039;s an example of a genre that keeps selling. The Lifetime Movei Network films are almost entirely about that genre. I didn&#039;t even know Marty had books because I basically didn&#039;t care.]]></description>

For starters, go listen to him reading it, and let it pour over you a few times. It will reveal itself bit by bit, each time slightly different. Don&#039;t go dissecting and analyzing right away... Feel it.

That&#039;s my two beat cents.  :-)

Thank you for the explanation. And for introducing me to the Allen Ginsberg poem &quot;Howl&quot;. I only wish I could understand it.
