“Jim and Lynda are a great team. They worked hard to get me television spots for Chasing Zebras, a book about the Fox television series House, M.D. Their efforts landed me on local Fox Network morning shows and evening news shows throughout the Midwest and beyond. They were tireless in securing print media coverage, radio spots, and book signings. I heartily recommend them!”

"The word indefatigable was invented for Lynda O'Connor, who beat the bushes for my book, Retirement Without Borders. Although she hadn't done publicity in my field of interest, she quickly figured it out, and went straight to all the logical media targets for my book relentlessly. They never knew what hit them. I'm happy to bear witness that Lynda helped to get the word out in a very professional and thorough way, and I'd gladly work with her again."
