Everyone is unique, but we are all infinitely more alike than we are different.

My site is meant to introduce you to my novels,
my opinions, and some investment advice. Soon I may write about genetic genealogy.
Enjoy!

 

Self-Publishing Support Videos



        The executives in this video are echoing remarks they made at the writer's conferences in New York. I can verify as I've listened to talks by many of them. They are super-nice in person. Jon Fine, Director of Author and Publishing Relations at Amazon, Grant Faulkner, Executive Director of NaNoWriMo, Jason Osalvo Vice President of Content Creation from Audible, Patrick Brown, Director of Author Marketing at Goodreads, and more. I recommend listening in case you have a book you're bound and determined to publish. Not all of us can put up with 137 rejections from literary agents as author Matthew Quick did with his manuscript for the book "Silver Linings Playbook."

        Self-publishing and knowing that publishing was within my grasp was a catalyst I needed to write and be certain my book would someday be available in physical and online forms. (NaNoWriMo was another factor but that's a story worth several posts).

         Good luck, and here's a sunny video with a story of how a couple hit a golden nerve with self-publishing. I'm unfamiliar with their writing but it makes compelling sense. Their ideas had immediate impact.
