"Thank you for sharing this information. While I am self published and thought that was the way to go...so I went for the second book ( the same way), I am no longer convinced that self publishing is the way to go:-)
Again thank you"

After the Novel..home from the hospital...breathing still labored
My decision to write the novel in a month was birthed from a desire to accomplish it, of course...but once I began writing I came down with a bug that is still plauging me.

Then by Nov 1 when I was beginning the Bella Rosa Portrait I was running a fever etc. For the most of the writng I felt like I was writing with cotton head....however that wasn't dangerous,just very annoying and sometimes made it…See More
