Jaye Murphy commented on Ima Umoh's blog post 'Hello people'"Well, Ima, definitely wishing you the best of luck on the agent part; heard they hard to come by - especially first time authors. My first book came out in March (Lord, My Lord), working on second (almost done) and am looking to just self publish."
Jaye Murphy commented on Authors.com's blog post 'How Important to Book Sales is the Cover?'"The book's cover is quite important. Often times, it will be the first representation of the book or yourself that one will notice. And as an author, I love to see a book cover that describes the essence of the book. A good book cover…"

In search of a literary agent
Hi guys, I am in search of a literary agent that works with first time authors, as I've read that most don't, but trying to market myself is very time consuming, especially with a toddler running around the house, a full time job, hubsnd and 13 y/o. So please, if you can suggest a trustworthy literary agent to help me out with my book marketing and promotions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Many blessings. JayeSee More

- Hey Jaye! How are you? I'm Garry, new author as well, "just getting my feet wet so to speak." be glad to add you as a friend! I write fictional stories, my handicap I guess? As I always hear nonfiction sales more books. But I have an imagination out of this world so I guess I was destined to write fiction. I've never quite grew up LOL "I've got a young mind stuck in an older body" Always been young at heart, determined to stay that way! Nice talking to you Jaye I'm married with five kids seven grandkids. "they keep you young," can wear you out too! I'm a leo born 7/24/52

- Hey Jaye I can relate to you with regards to the teenage child, I have a seventeen year old son, and a fourteen year old Nephew we've had guardianship of him sense he was four months old. Both my boys make fun of me, in a harmless way of course. They kid me about my age quite a bit. I tell them that's ok you'll be my age someday then you'll see, I've earned my creaking bones and joints and greyhair that's mileage!! I'm retired from ministry I served 12years behind the pulpit, when my mother came down with alzheimers, and my wife became ill, I retired and switched my ministry to them, that's when I began writing my fictional books to help ease my mind better then paxil! Helped me through some rough times. The Lord above and my writing keeps me sane. My boys might question the sane partLOL
