If you maybe interested here's what I do:

I'm Sonia Pichardo. I am the owner of HarlemFriends.com

HarlemFriends.com brings novelists to new audiences
via free, downloadable audionovels. HarlemFriends.com
is an integrated audionovel podcasting business that
services include podcasting new authors works, selling
novels, voice-overs, podcast consulting, and
advertising.

I am looking for authors who want to have their novel
read to new audiences who listen weekly. This
publicity can turn listeners into buyers and give
greater name recognition to author. This is a very
cost-effective and easily managed method of
advertising.

Hoping to hear from you,

I was moved by what you had to say about some of the writing styles of African American authors. I really enjoyed it. I will also recommend your book "Butta" to my book club this year. I would be honored if you would visit my website www.thestruggle.4t.com and share your thoughts with me after reading excerpts from chapters of my book "The Struggle to Fall in Love with Myself". Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
