I Published my first BOOK!!!

Hello all, this is my first post to my new blog site.  I hope you all enjoy yourselves here!!!

First off, let me start by saying the reason I started this blog is I just finished my first book and uploaded it to amazon.com! (Link at the bottom of the post to take a look at it on Amazon's site).

Now, let me first start off by saying if you are an aspiring writer, really take a look at what Amazon has to offer for self publishing.  It was very easy and there are quite a few sites that walk you through how to make sure your book is properly formatted to be uploaded to the Amazon site.  (At the end of this post I will make links available to these sites as well as Amazon's site for publishing).

Anyway, back to the book.  It has taken me a little while to write a book.  It has been about 6-7 years in the making.  It has run me through a gamut of emotions, from joy, excitement, frustration and even anger some times.  Writing a book is a crazy process and once you finish it, it can be heart wrenching to publish it.  Not in the sense that it is a hard and arduous process, but once it's complete it is almost like a part of you that you are letting go.  The main thing is the waiting for someone to pick it up, read it and tell you what they think of it.  Sure, you can have friends and family read it, but unless you have a heartless family, they will tell you that they think it is great.  (Let's face it, there are a ton of folks trying out for American Idol, that someone in their family should have given them honest criticism long before the judges have to...)

Regardless, my book is out there now, so if you have an ereader and 2.99 to spend, please give it a go and let me know what you think.  By the way, I take James Patterson to heart when he said that not enough young men have books geared toward them.  My book was written for my both my boys (13 and 14) and my daughter as she enjoys Fantasy as well.

Anyway that is what I have for now, check back often as I will be adding more blogs in the future about writing skits, plays and books.  I am also an avid Improv player, so those of you who are into that, I will be talking about that as well.

But before I go, I promised you all some links -
