My Foray into Self-Publishing

On my journey from traditional publishing (19 books) to self-publishing (one), I promised myself that I would be conscientious and do my homework. This brave new world was brand new to me and I was determined to plan as much as possible, to learn as much as possible, and to get it right. It was a daunting goal and the results are still pending.

It’s been a time-consuming, overwhelming learning curv Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Hy Conrad (?)

“No, no. I trust your judgement. Implicitly. You're just wrong.”

“Did you know that Jesse James was shot while he was standing on a chair, dusting the top of a picture frame?” “You must have mixed feelings about that,” I suggested. He nodded vigorously. “I know. On the one hand, a cold-blooded killer was finally brought down. On the other hand . . . he was dusting!” “Wasn’t he also shot in the back?” “Sure, but that’s not the important part. The man was dusting. What kind of coward shoots a man when he’s dusting?” “I wonder if he finished the entire frame.” “My question exactly. I wrote a letter to the True West Historical Society but they never replied.”
― Hy Conrad, Mr. Monk Helps Himself

“Monk might have even written a message on the cloth, using the AG-7 astronaut pen he always carried in his jacket. But I didn’t need a message. I knew.”
