Hello...

Is there anyone out there? This is my first post and I'm curious as to whether anyone is ever going to read this blog.

I write. I write almost as fast as read because I have a reading disability. Still, I write for a living.

As an aside, I got my BS in math, but I didn't become a mathematician. When I started writing for a living it was in the defense industry. I was a technical writer who wrote reports, studies, proposals, etc.

Later, I went to work for Backwoods Home Magazine and have now written for them for the last 24 years.

But all my life I've written fiction and a little over 30 years ago I began writing novels. I've finished several. I tried to interest agents or publishers in them but, in all that time I couldn't get anyone to read them. I don't know how it is with others, but I kind of gave up on ever getting them published. However, I never stopped writing them.

Then along came CreateSpace and KDP, courtesy of Amazon, and I dusted the old ones off, updated them, and now I'm publishing them. I've got two up there, now, and I hope to have a third, titled Fossil up in a few weeks (more likely a few months because everything takes longer than I expect it to).

So, I'll talk about writing, what I'm writing, and how I write these things if anyone's interested to hear.
