There are some wonderful stories of worthy books being published, with all doors flying open before them, but they do seem the exception. But self-publishing is a wonderful equalizer. Good look on The Chronicles!Dan Pollockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993529540179848119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408527144593754357.post-76938582374397486262014-10-18T20:18:59.320-07:002014-10-18T20:18:59.320-07:00What is true inspiration?

The Bible, College Books, that I read and wrote about, and The Chronicles of Heaven's War, books that aren't all available for the public.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407137773505239347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408527144593754357.post-1636083034456671612014-10-18T20:03:01.575-07:002014-10-18T20:03:01.575-07:00Thanks for the information.

With most books a profit comes from a quick read that's repeated quickly, 3.) True inspiration is outside of the norm, 4.) That means true inspirational stories won't fit with the normal publisher.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14407137773505239347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408527144593754357.post-42412317139285732002014-04-11T08:06:25.180-07:002014-04-11T08:06:25.180-07:00Thanks, June.

Mystery Writers and hearing Jonathan Kellerman talk about how he wrote and sold his first mystery, and thinking, Hey, that's practically my story! With one significant exception--his "When the Bough Breaks" just took off, winning awards and racking up sales and he's never looked back. But what tribulations he went through to get it sold and published!Dan Pollockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993529540179848119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408527144593754357.post-2849956821399105342014-04-11T06:52:37.085-07:002014-04-11T06:52:37.085-07:00A great read Daniel, thanks.
