@Rolade Berthier I have read and selected the books for now going on 26 years. I also kicked off Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gipson’s READ THIS Book Club and been featured three times, featured on Oprah Winfrey’s Oxygen Network and on The Oprah Winfrey Show and more all up on Skool. I have too been featured as Keynote Speaker and speaker at most of the big book festivals in the country, as well as, for other speaking engagements. . I founded and operated this myself with the help of volunteers until I brought Paul Roberson on as my business partner as Executive Director as he has been my webmaster and technical advisor for over 15 years. I have had through the decades have had people and groups try to steal my content and why I now have may good name on everything I do. This never ending. I have a wonderful attorney through Writer’s Guild, a literary agent, and an entertainment agent. I am covered plus 26 years of authors who may have gone on to incredible success.

@Nancy West I will check again my stacks. I receive a lot of books!

Loved it Sophie Perinot and all our authors and readers present. They all had big news!!!

Thank you Jessica, M. Damien, and Rolando so very much, very much. I am keeping track of your votes and I am proud to announce I have made it to the top 15. Because of you I could possibly win this, so if I WIN, I am going to be sending the Kathy L. Murphy Big Book Club member who has the most votes for me an original painting no matter where you live in the world. So the more you vote , the more chances you have of winning. I have never felt so much support in my life but you know what? Good people should be rewarded don’t you think! May God bless all for your paying it forward’s!!!

Now going into The Top Ten in just a few more days so keep voting. I feel like because of everybody voting each day I can do this! All I have ever dreamed is coming true as I know I Win now no matter if I really do. I’m going the distance as I am not a quitter I never give up. Check out my latest painting I worked all day yesterday until stopping at around 4:30 am. Abstracted from this mushroom found by a 200 foot live oak that started Ted fall on my cabin in the wood I had to cut down.

Thank you Paul for sharing and each one of these votes will help me as an artist and my Kathy L. Murphy Big Book Love program of promoting our Author members bringing the best books to readers. We are building a global community of sharing stories. Consider this a barn raising, all of us have to come together and that by sharing our authentic stories every single day we will grow in leaps and bounds. The People’s Artist is a campaign and you all it is very hard work to get people to vote and takes me a tremendous amount of time to create the content. I then think of Paul who does the same for all of you! The book launch program, the instructional videos, creating the genre groups so you can all email each other and brainstorm. If you want you book to be considered for 2027 you have to join either New Author Membership or V.I.P Author Membership. Paul will help you build your own Author platform on ours that you have access to share your entire website information. We took my website down and Paul moved everything over to Skool as over 19 million people now on Skool that has the ability of safeguards to vet those who come aboard to target our intellectual property. They are blocked. Other Social media right now is capturing every post, all our information, and yes, being copied with AI by identity thieves and more. We are being sent what looks life real letters from our banks, utilities, and even IRS letters that look so real they are not. n never click on those messages or bar codes. Call or go directly to the entire website, anlways. Only then you will find out the true story, it is the new crime and hard to catch. With one scan of those bar codes all your personal information is leaked to professional scammers. Questions on how to deal with this, I have the form. So please vote, share some good news story everyday and post it on my Kathy L. Murphy Big Book Love member page on Facebook. Just posted two of my major authors greatest news ever, Lisa See is on a national book tour and posted the schedule. Adriana Trigiani scored the biggest book deal ever. The sequel to The Godfather, “Connie” from the perspective of the women in this Italian family. Post, post, post, add a photo, a reel, a video and please vote each day for me by clicking the blue VOTE button on the banner with the headscarf and sunglasses at the top of my personal Kathy L. Murphy page. One vote per day , it’s free! We all have to truly get involved and help each other to build. Reader member, Pina Collata Bergmann brought in two of her friends. You all have family and friends that support you, invite them to join our community. It’s free for readers. I have invited in all my authors and members from all my social medias. The faster we build our group, the more we can think about planning for another time to add for our International book club and schedule live meetups.
