Post #3 Something I'm interested in . . .

I am actually interested in Google Blog! I've been using it, personally, for a while. I was prompted a few years ago by the following events:

 In 1983, to the horror of my family, I eloped with a Greek cook in a local diner that I barely knew and went to live in Greece for a while.

Fast forward 30+ years. I wanted my children to understand who they are and so I thought I'd write about the experience but also to write about their grandmother (my mother-in-law) and her incredible life in the poorest area of Greece, in an unhappy arranged marriage. It turned out my kids weren't quite as interested as was I, so I thought if I bound it in a book, they might read it someday. So I used Amazon's Create Space to self publish and called it, The Nifi, which is the Greek word for a woman who marries into a family. My children were lukewarm with the whole idea. . . kids! But suddenly the book gained traction in the U.K. I'm really not sure of the reason.

Anyway, Google Blog is a great way to "market" something. Every time I post a new article on the blog (and then share it in Facebook Groups. . . sorry Google), I sell several books. The name of the blog is also called The Nifi. And so, this is my Post # 3 in thread 3 for this week's assignment! : )
