Hey, 2020: Kiss My Ass! You Too Facebook.
NOTE: I don't typically use vulgarity in public conversation, either verbally or in the written word. So I ask for forgiveness of my use of the phrase "Kiss My Ass."

How I Published Two Books on the Same Day
Here's how I did it. I worked my ass off for a year and a half and I had a lot of help. That I got everything together and submitted them on the same day was a total coincidence. So there. The rest of this article is about those two books. Sorry if I didn't offer any inspirational secrets. If I can't toot my own horn on my own blog, then it's not safe to do so anywhere, right? Yesterday, I submitted two new books for publication. One is fiction, my second novel. The other is … [Read more...] about How I Published Two Books on the Same Day
