My new book

Hard to believe it's been two months since I've landed here in the Blogosphere.

But the time has been put to good use finishing, packaging and sending of my new book to the publisher.

It's called: When Did I Become the Oldest Person in the Room? ... A practical guide for writers who write about life

The book is available now on Amazon Kindle and soon will be published in paperback, to be sold on the main Amazon site and in bookstores everywhere.

Writing a book was easier than I imagined – well, actually finishing a book, that is.  I've been writing a novel for more than 10 years, and it remains today as unfinished as the day I started, practically.  I'll finish that Great American Novel one day, but for now, I'm focusing in the non-fiction realm with "Oldest," which basically is a teaching manual for writers.

Successfully marketing a book, is looking as though it will be much more of a challenge than actually writing one.  If I plan to continue enjoying myself as an author / editor, though, I'm going to have to make the marketing gig work, and actually sell what I write. ("Please buy my book," he pleaded, shamelessly)

Oh yeah.  I've also started a new non-fiction book – as yet unnamed – that will offer up lessons in real life for anyone seeking a high-quality path to their 60th birthday.  Now, this is all more or less formulated in my mind, with an outline on paper, but I haven't got a clue yet how I'm going to firmly tie my ambitious foreward into the content of the book.

I'll polish up the foreward this afternoon, and post that tomorrow.
