This post, and the &quot;you should self publish&quot; post, I have read repeatedly. <br /><br />I don&#39;t say this to praise you, or feed an ego you don&#39;t care for anymore, but to simply say that if I do reach a place in my life where I can live off of my writing (and I&#39;m confident I will), I want you to know you are a reason for that. <br /><br />I want nothing more than to help people with my writing, the same way stories helped me get through bad times. Through self publishing I have the tools to do it the way I know it can be done and on topics I feel need to be addressed. <br /><br />I&#39;ve said it before on your posts, and I will say it again. I have two shorts up, a novel coming (which is sampled up until chapter 7 in those shorts), and many more to come. I&#39;ll see you at the top.Jacob Chastainhttp://www.jacobchastain.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-83875600873747312682012-05-28T15:11:29.164-05:002012-05-28T15:11:29.164-05:00It certainly shows with the books the publishers t...It certainly shows with the books the publishers turned down that they made a big mistake.

Yes you published in Kindle as most of us here reading this post. Though not to deny you your praise as so many are doing where is the guide? Yes you made what looks like good money and more than one could possible use to survive and live well. <br />Besides the hard numbers of Kindle sales which is good information to see and few would post this would have worked better if you posted some advice for marketing or even some gateways into advertising paths that would be free or low cost for the not established writer. <br />As it sounds you were pretty much established and published so you are not coming from the straight amatuer writer trying to self-publish because we do not know how to or have been turned away from publishers.<br />Thank you <br />Omar Pina Pena<br />FB group Ebooks4all<br /> You can come and shamelessly promote your books.
