He'd been working on his novel for about 25 years trying to get it right. He finally bit the bullet and self-pubbed it with an Amazon ebook. Don't know what he's doing to promote it, but I don't think it's doing much in sales. To think of putting that much toil and time into something with no return seems lamentable, yet perhaps for him it's a relief.<br /><br />Good luck and best of success with your current effort.<br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://wrotebyrote.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Wrote By Rote</a><br />An A to Z Co-host blog<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966405019276327514.post-89392182316962732492014-02-06T21:25:05.267-05:002014-02-06T21:25:05.267-05:00All this makes me curious and really wanting to re...All this makes me curious and really wanting to read it.
