Review
5.0 out of 5 stars A mine of useful information.
An informative and enlightening compendium from published authors – and all for less than the price of an average coffee. Brilliant fun. I was entertained by the stories and anecdotes in each of the authors’ publishing journeys, and it was interesting to see the various walks of life that culminated with the same thing: writing.
This book is not a manual of how to write; more of an informal chat between friends. Reading it felt heart-warming, like a twenty-six person group hug. If you feel lonely on your writing journey, or simply wonder ‘how it is’ for someone else, read it. You’ll be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Valuable Lessons from Writers
By Glenn Starkey
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Anytime you find a compilation of experiences on any subject, you have found a treasure chest. As someone interested in writing, if you glean just one bit of advice that assists you in your endeavors or allows you to avoid a pitfall, then the read was valuable. That is the sole purpose of this book — to learn from others so you do not have to reinvent the wheel.
The book is written in casual manner, from the heart, by authors as if they were sitting with you in conversation sharing their personal thoughts. It should not be taken as a college textbook nor searched for typos. I believe that defeats the book’s overall intent.
Many of these authors are friends and I enjoyed reading their views to questions and learning from their experiences. The publishing industry is swiftly changing and I find that all information about the writing world is beneficial.

Free ebooks for Marines & ARMED Forces – World Wide.
Recently I received a message from a young marine ( John Korben Leiby Jr.) serving in Afghanistan. Just 25 years old, he is in a foreign country away from his wife and family. On his deployment, he bought a kindle and uploaded my books.You can understand how moved… I was when I received his message, saying how much he was enjoying my books and asked if I had written any others…. John said – “I never thought reading would be so cool…” So, with that, I began to think about all my other author friends who would love to donate books to those that put their lives in harms way while we sleep soundly in our beds at night reading our favorite books…
If you would like to donate your books to these brave souls, please add a link to your ebook from Amazon on this page that you would like to donate.

“The daylight now faded from within my heart,
A veil now between us that keeps us apart,
You’re gone from this realm, but you’re still in my soul,
As I lay on this ground, where you rest still and cold,
If tears could bring you, back here to my arms,
I’d cry out an ocean, of moist crystal charms,
Child of the moon, who brought light to my world,
Here in this place, on your tomb I lie curled.”
