My father died in 1990. He was on board the USS BLock Island and it wasn't and aircraft carrier. It was torpeoded by the Japanese with three torpeodoes. My father was in the mess hall at the time and one came through the wall right behind him. He never talked about it much and I want to learn more about the ship and the battle they were in.

Here is the statement: “She said she is convinced he is not guilty because he is not that kind of person.”

Here is the whole article from which this quote came:
SAN DIEGO -- The wife of the El Cajon officer accused of soliciting sexual favors from women he arrested took the stand at his trial Tuesday and said he is not guilty, NBC7/39 reported. Investigators said at least five women have come forward with allegations against Officer William Taylor. His wife Deanna Taylor testified about how she got the news of the accusations. She said she tried to reach her husband by phone, and when she finally talked to him, he wasn't himself. "When I would normally reach him, he would tell me exactly what he was doing -- reports to finish, or if he was on call. He would give me specifics, he didn't this time," Deanna Taylor said.

I would like to know what kind of marketing/advertising you did to sell your work, or if you had a publisher, what they did. I would prefer answers from people that have sold 10,000 or more books in a single year.
