| Well, my father died the day after Thanksgiving. The funeral was Monday (12/2/2013). I am now facing Christmas with the decision about what to do now with my life.
My first desire is to go out and promote my writing. I have been working with a lady to check my manuscripts. Many are now on Nook and Kindle (Roby Ward).
I want hardcopies, and I mean hard-back hardcopies - no 'trade' paperbacks. If people want temporary copies, they can purchase from Nook or Kindle (cheaper). I do have PDFs, but no system of selling them (unless you can deal with me directly). I had a good experience using Lulu for printing books, so plan on using them again.
This will take money and time, but so it goes. Right now having to decide on a selection and where to attack. Nothing definite in at the moment.
Note that I know (think) that Kellycakes and such is in Arizona. Thus, if they can let me know of any conventions out there, I will work to schedule going out there. If any others have an idea (or desire), I will be glad to consider those.
Oh, my second desire is to finally get my property in north Louisiana where I can live on it. That will also take time and money. No real rush on that however.
Anyway, my life has taken a change. Hopefully it will be for the better.
I hope all of you are also looking positive toward the future.

| My condolences Terish. I don't know how it feels to lose a parent but I am on the verge now. From some of your previous posts you let on that you knew it was going to happen and that you were prepared as much as possible for it. I couldn't imagine being so strong even if I knew it was coming. Now I'm dealing with another form of Cancer with my father, aggressive and already stage 4, that has developed within the last year. We found out beginning of November. Working, Oncologist, Internist, Lab, Radiation appointments with both parents and dealing with a few problems myself hasn't left me much of a life. I'm so excited that you are finally getting a chance to live. I'm back in Michigan (taking care of my parents) and haven't yet made it back to Arizona, though I wish I was there! Getting work on the kindle shouldn't be that hard since you seem like a tech savvy kind of guy. A few clicks and it's all set up, of course there are extras to make your work even more appealing to the masses. I hope you and your son gets through the next few weeks without much stress and can grieve and love and accept and grow. Here's to a new start. I appreciate you sticking around here as well. Through everything I know when I do manage a few minutes on the computer I can find some part of you here! | |
