To celebrate my birthday I just published my very first book—a humorous take on life here in The Villages, starring a cast of characters suspiciously similar to our own friends. If you enjoy margaritas, mishaps, and golf carts with more personality than most SUVs, this one’s for you. It’s free on Kindle Unlimited, or you can grab a copy and help fund my next flamingo floatie. Amazon.com |
Happy Birthday and Congratulations, Mr. Mayor!
You got it done! I respect that. I have been writing in my head since I retired. Mine is a play. So far, I have a title and two scenes. . .but I never work on it. It just plays in my head. It is now approaching “Longest Running Play” status, but, alas, it remains unfinished. There is a saying about writing that applies for those who want or need or have to write: “The art of writing is the art of putting the seat of the pants to the seat of the chair.” (I am not good at that part because my muse is a procrastinator and sometimes a social butterfly.)
One of my longtime, lifetime friends does what you are doing. She self pubs through Amazon. Mostly cozy mysteries with a couple of series. She was a cop in real life. She has done this for years. She said she never expects to make any money but does it for the mental exercise and because it is fun. I get that. BUT she now gets a comma in her ROI every once in a while.
Enjoy your birthday and keep on having fun writing.

PS: I am going to spend $6.99 from my retirement fund to download your book on Kindle.
