In 2007 Sunstone Press published a memoir I wrote about my troubled journey into the world of fiction, which I called An Accidental Novelist.
Now I've recovered the rights, refined it, and have published an electronic edition that is available on Kindle readers. And soon it will be available for Nook readers.
It doesn't pretend to be a complete autobiography; my life is largely uneventful. But it does focus on some of the crises and traits that steered me into writing popular fiction for a living.
I had never intended to be a novelist. I ran into problems as a newsman and later as a book editor, and in mid-life I turned to fiction as a way to survive. And succeeded, to my own astonishment.
The memoir did well in its early years, and I am hoping this updated edition will engage new readers.
