Five good books to begin a journey with imagination.

Publish and print your books.



There are many ways for new authors to get into the business of selling books once the book has been written. In today's writing world, it is possible to create, design, edit, produce and sell a book without going with a publisher, or even a POD (print on demand) company. I do use the POD help of Creatspace and I have found them to be reliable and helpful, but let me tell you of an additional resource.

Once you have done all the things necessary to produce a good book, you can find your own printer who might have an excellent press but sitting in a basement or garage where you can get your printing done as you need it. My printer likes to print two-hundred books at a time and I think that is reasonable. The price is in line with the POD publishing company, but I like the control this gives me.

I have found that there are authors who are not interested in or have an expectation of getting rich quick. They are the authors who give something of themselves that they want to leave their family and others, something that they have created and want to share with the present and future. I am one of those.

It is my intention to write books to inspire, develop and challenge readers for a long time to come and here are my books and what I have to offer. This is not a complete list by any means, the list grows year by year.
