I notice that you only have it published on one platform such as Etsy. You should check around on fiver.com for someone who can transfer it over to Kindle eBook template format. This way you'd be able to sell it on Amazon. Amazon also owns a print-on-demand company called "Createspace.com" which they can make it into a paperback. You can learn about Amazon Kindle and Createspace by going out to youtube.com, there are a lot of people talking about how to publish your book in an eBook, or in a paperback out on this site. Good luck and thanks for the interview.</span></i></div>

about monitoring online reputation. A lot of people and organisations are
focused on getting on the first page of Google. However, it is important to
ensure that what shows up is positive, otherwise being on the first page will
end up being detrimental to that person or organisation. The truth is, negative
information can be plastered online about anyone at any time, so if a
monitoring system is not in place to curtail and prevent reputation damage then
something that starts up small could spiral out of control and end up being
disastrous.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

Renaissance Outlaw": </span></i></b><i><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Virula knows
how hard life can be—but he thinks he also knows how to make the most of it. As
a high school dropout, he joins a gang who exploits his cool-headed courage,
and keeps him captive by catering to his appetites for drugs and women. Virula
takes place during one memorable Father’s Day in Los Angeles, when a dose of
hallucinogens creates a surreal 24 hours…but Virula’s actual life is already so
strange that it’s almost just another day. Realistic and enlightening, yet also
surprisingly funny with a keen sense of the ridiculous, Virula is an offbeat
love story, an eye-opening look at gang life, a hard-hitting examination of a
young man who has taken the wrong path, and above all, an entertaining and
compelling story. This first book in the Virula series will leave you looking
forward to the sequel!<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></i><br />

book jacket: Emily Bradley, an orphan born in a brothel in London in 1784,
flees after her first forced encounter with a client, Lord Charles Stanford.
Five years later, he tracks her down and forces her into marriage in order to
manipulate her and their son to secure his vast legacy. Emily must deny
everything she is and loves, her art and her new country life, to keep the
truth from his aristocratic family or face Lord Charles’ murderous temper. When
she’s offered a commission to paint a portrait at the Royal French Court of
Joséphine Bonaparte herself, Emily sees a chance to break free from her
miserable life – but it means forming an alliance with the enemy of England,
potentially exposing all her secrets, and possibly losing her son. Emily is
forced into the hardest choice of her life: where her fate and her son’s
future, hang in the balance.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

the most autobiographical of my novels, as happens oftentimes with writers.
It’s about the temptations of the college lifestyle, sex, drugs, and bad
behavior. More than that, though, looking back, I see it as a novel about being
reluctant to grow up. The author Paul Auster read it and described it as
“sophomoric.” I can’t really argue with that, but I always felt there was a
certain manic energy and vitality to it that I enjoyed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

were self-published this year, "Hell To Pay" was written most
recently. It’s a crime novel, straightforward genre fiction, in the tradition
of Elmore Leonard, say, or Robert B. Parker. The action stems from a gambling
debt, which leads to a kidnapping. You’ve have these sort of disparate elements
of the societal spectrum, on both sides of the law, colliding with each other.
It’s cops-and-robbers, but there’s also a bit of social commentary at play.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

the four titles I’ve published so far vary broadly in terms of content, I try
to put my all into everything I write. That means that whatever the genre, my

craft of it, and I think that comes across in my work. I care about my
characters, whatever their flaws. The entertainment value, I think, is
intrinsic in my writing. If the writer is having fun, I believe the reader will

in a fictional version of Earth; two hundred years after a nuclear war had very
nearly wiped out the entire human population through war and disease. The few
that remain are struggling to survive in a world that has become a wasteland,
their already difficult existence made more troubling by those who have been
mutated by plague and radiation. One example of these mutations is
DeathSpeakers - humans born with their mouths sewn shut with unbreakable wires.
Upon their tenth year, the wires fade and the DeathSpeaker is finally able to
speak, but anyone who hears them speak will instantly die. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

Ricker, an assassin who has made it his life's mission to hunt down
DeathSpeakers and kill them before they can hurt anyone. His life is
complicated when Mortimer, the almost ten-year-old DeathSpeaker he is trying to
track down is kidnapped by a third party, along with a gem capable of granting
the single wish of anyone who holds it. When Mortimer escapes his kidnappers
and runs into Ricker, the two of them are forced to join forces in order to
defend against attack by Mortimer's kidnappers - people who are determined to
get him back for reasons unknown. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

headaches and recover memories he has forgotten. As his past returns to him, he
begins to discover that the choices he has made in his life are not what he
thought them to be. In fact, there is a lot that is not what it seems. One of
people's favorite parts of the book seems to be Shadow, a ghost that spends his
time following Ricker around and making sarcastic quips to guilt him into doing
what he thinks needs done. The end of "Hunt", however, reveals that
he, too, is not what he seems. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

actually my playing around with language. I like words, which I'm sure is evident
from my choice of career. I was thinking about the semantics of different words
and how they can often have ambiguous or double-meanings. I had actually been
thinking about J.K. Rowling's word for the followers of her main villain in her
Harry Potter series - Death Eaters. The idea popped into my head of a Death
Breather, and if they could breathe death, would that mean breathe it into
someone, or out? The answer to that question created Ricker, an assassin and
DeathBreather, and it was from him that the rest of the story evolved. There
are different aspects to the story that have been inspired by other parts of my
life - my love of science and science fiction, my addiction to words, and my
fascination with theology and psychology. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

solve cases and protect people from monsters that lurk under beds and behind
masks that make them look human. "De Facto Dead" is the second story
in the "Roger Lamb Case Files". The first, "Dead Man's Dog",
was a short story published in my second book, "Beyond Doorways", a
collection of five horror short stories. "Dead Man's Dog" is

following Roger Lamb as he works as a private detective in Spectre, New York.
Roger is working some smaller cases for some blissfully-normal clients when
Officer Alexis Berkley, a friend and frequent-colleague, calls him asking for
help with a triple-homicide that looks like an animal attack, except that the
bite marks are human... sort of. Things get weird, as they tend to do in
Spectre, when the murders don't stop even after the supposed culprit is caught
and a missing person's case proves to be mixed up in the deaths of a number of
unrelated victims, all killed viciously. Roger and Berkley have to work
together to solve the mystery and protect the people in danger, all without
having any idea of what exactly this monster is. Spectre is proving time and
again to be the central gathering point for monsters of every kind,
unfortunately the only kind of luck Roger have is bad. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

eclectic. I range across possible topics like a kid playing hopscotch in a
transporter beam. I say I write fantasy, paranormal thriller, and mystery, but
my books also touch on science fiction, horror, romance, and somehow I manage
to be funny. Occasionally it's even on purpose. I've been inspired by JRR
Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" - the books, which I read when I was
young, although the movies were wonderfully done. I also grew up on "Star
Wars", "Star Trek", and John Wayne movies. My first Doctor wore
a sprig of celery on his lapel. I'm a bit of a nerd. Well, I say a bit... <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

professional goofball. You can find pictures of me on my website wearing "The
Cat in the Hat's" tall hat, or grinning over the rim of a tea cup filled
with... well, it actually might have been tea, coffee, or soup. Could of maybe been
the bitter tears of the characters I have put through hell. I like to have fun,
both within the pages of my books and beyond them. I love studying mythology
and psychology, and you'll find I use both liberally in my books. My characters
tend to be fun to get to know, even the ones we don't like all that much, and
every one of them is written with aching depth, time spent building them, and
breaking them. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

spend a lot of time writing, studying characters, researching, and putting
everything together. I enjoy what I do and I write stories that interest me.
They seem to be pretty fun for other people, too, and I've met a lot of really
great people through writing them. If you like dragons, ghosts or haunted
houses; if you want to see what the world could look like after World War III,
or if you wonder what it might be like if werewolves were real, I have an
answer. It might not be the right one; but right is boring. I can promise you

Most people may ask how this can be an encouragement to write while yearning to
live after her death. My sister’s quietness was such an encouragement and
impactful. Her silence said so much without even speaking out, yet paved the
way for me as I began to be expressive with untold truths. As a shy and mild
tempered young mother of five, I was so upset and angry. I needed a way out and
to be communicative without being judged, by sharing my heart. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

script! No poem, Hallmark card, or church
hymnal from my grandmother’s piano was safe from my innocent plagiarism! I
typed so many favorite verses, poetry and inspiring thoughts I came across. Of
course, I am just old enough that this was in a pre-digital world, when copying
was far less available, and more of an elite technology. I copy-typed my heart
out and put the pages in special home-made poetry and music journals– and imagined
I was saving all those beautiful words for something special, and important. Though

was sent as an Ambassador to represent my school at the Young Writer’s
