Sandy — exactly, which is why I formed my own
publishing company, hired a professional book
designer, editors, and a PR firm — all of which led to a good Kirkus review, «free» book reviews in two major newspapers, two front - page newspaper articles, book signings
at prominent book sellers, the book becoming a «Hot New Release» on Amazon, and the book enjoying best - seller status on Amazon going on four months.
There were many early attempts
at a science fiction tabletop RPG but none of them stuck until 1977's Traveller, created by Marc Miller and
published by his
company Game
Designer's Workshop.
