            I am sure I would enjoy them, Andrew. I have to use my Kindle to read books because of my eyesight.

    Andrew, I”ve had ten books published by publishers., five best sellers in various countries. Is there any money in self-publishing?

      I haven’t hit bestseller status myself if that’s what you mean, David. I certainly don’t expect to anytime soon either. Going with indie publishers was the first door that opened for me (my attempts at getting an agent bore no fruit), and the impression I had is that big publishing houses are extremely hard to get a contract with. Plus, I feel the one-on-one interactions are better suited for me.

      Not all of them offer royalties, and none in this post do (most of those I shared in the post prior to this one do), but they are writing credentials that help get more of my work out there, and spread the word about me as a writer, and that’s what ultimately counts..
