What do you know about the people behind Rocket Books? It's a very unstylish, almost simplistic website. Are you running it? Endorsing it? Or just adding the information? It could draw a lot of people in, and it is important that they know it to be a genuine and professional venture.

I know nothing about them. Posted their release which was sent to me by an established author who asked me if I could help.
