Book 1 is written, and I’m printing it out chapter by chapter for final edits.  Once that’s done, the book is done and will be available to publishers, etc. I’d like to get an agent, so I don’t have to worry about the selling part.  I HATE selling.  We’ll see how that

I finished the original draft of the book, only to be told I need to start at an earlier point in time by one person and told not do that by another. Just to goof around I put together two earlier chapters and LOVED them, so I guess I’ll be lengthening the

Lulu: Self publishing and book printing. I had the first four copies of On the Shores of a Dark Sea printed there today.  Full color covers, double spaced for my beta readers to mark in, and coil bound on 8.5×11 paper. If anyone else is thinking of getting something printed there, make
