Finishing . . .

I am so glad to have this opportunity to write to those interested in my book. A few of you have asked what it takes to finally finish writing. Well, it takes a start. Second to that, a firm goal is really what makes a difference. My wife gave me the gift of self-publishing for my birthday in 08. Once the money was outlaid, I really felt deadlines and I overcame that twenty minutes of "getting started" fiddling everytime I was getting started on a rewrite or an edit. This turned into a serious venture because it was now beyond a hobby or a life goal--it was real. So I say to you my friends who have asked: if you are serious about writing and finishing writing, seeing your project for sale--invest. Invest your money. It is a great motivator.

I would like to thank all of you who have purchased my book in the last week, but most of all, I would like to thank all of you who have wished me success. I hope I will hear from all of you in the coming weeks, when you have had time to enjoy the novel.
A special thanks to my sister, Kathy, who purchased a whole flock of books as Christmas presents.
A special thanks to my sister-in-law, Terry, who created my website.
A special thanks to my wife, who has really organized it all.
