a little self-promotion music, please ...
Ebook publishing, I'm discovering, is a popular topic. Since asking a few questions on this forum I've benefited from input from a lot of knowledgeable people ... wonderful.It all started, for me,…Continue

A short time ago I ran across a comment about ebook publishing somewhere in CrimeSpace and did some investigating. What I found was some way to get some of my old western stories that had been…Continue

Bill Sheehy left a comment for Jerry Peterson"Jerry is a popular fellow ... and I'm glad to add him to my list of friends. Or was I added to his list ... getting mixed up like that is the result of starting a new novel while the last one is being critiqued by a bunch of people I count on…"

Bill Sheehy left a comment for Vincent Zandri"One of the bestest things about CrimeSpace is that it allows me to be listed as a friend to some really good crime writers. Great for my ego, you know. Thanks for your hand in friendship .......

Bill Sheehy replied to Daniel Hatadi's discussion CrimeSpace Bookstore: Calling All Authors"Okay, I finally got my act together, along with those folks over at Amazon ... and I agree whole heartedly with Julie's comments ... I'd rather you got the lion's share of the fee but take what you can get.
Let us hope it all works…"
Bill Sheehy left a comment for Robin Richmond"Robin Richmond: I just discovered the note you wrote a couple days ago ... I don't check things very often. A bad habit, I admit, but the only one I have. Boy, reading my earlier comment about your mustache and broken leg, I can't believe…"
Bill Sheehy replied to Bill Sheehy's discussion publishing as an ebook ... anyone else doing it?"Just read the essay you mentioned... interesting. Thank you.
Makes one think ... HTML, as was pointed out, is only about 19 or 20 years old! And we all take it for having always been around. Gosh, I've got hangnails that old. Wonder what…"

robert walker replied to Bill Sheehy's discussion publishing as an ebook ... anyone else doing it?"Thanks Charles; I thought it was a good debate but honestly, I had the upper hand as I knew more. Knowledge frees one up to be pretty damn arrogant at times. All the same, I think there is a great deal of confusing self pubbing, vanity style, with…"
Charles A. Ray replied to Bill Sheehy's discussion publishing as an ebook ... anyone else doing it?"Great debate, and you made some good points. Unfortunately, in the traditional publishing world, epublishing and POD are still working hard to gain a foothold. I have finally decided to make my own decisions, and the suits be damned. I have…"

- About Me:
- I live in a small cottage near the beaches of Queensland. An American by birth, I'm a retired journalist/editor. A half dozen years or so back I got bored with the beach and all that sunshine and started writing novels. As of today, the London company, Hale Publishing, has published ten of my western novels and my first crime novel comes out toward the end of February. A second novel is enroute to Hale with a third in the re-re-re-rewrite stage. I would dearly love to be published in the US but so far no agent has been intelligent enough to take my work on. Too bad, so sad............

E.A. McKenzie said… - The most fun I've had in years is learning through critique groups and reading, then putting together a well written sentence, one at a time.
Non pornographic love scenes, in my opinion, are much easier than you think. Remember when you first started dating? How exciting it was to anticipate the big event? But if you're talking about sex and all it entails, personally, sometimes all you need is a suggestion, a kiss, then end the scene and come back in the morning.
From my mother,perhaps in the same era as yours, I learned pornographic love scenes are offensive to some. Well, that's okay, they don't have to read the book. It all depends on your perspective I guess.

- Yeah, welcome aboard. Sydney is okay, other than flying over the harbor ... that is a world class view. Melbourne? Great tennis, the Australian Open, but more better for the restaurants one can find there. Australia doesn't have a good reputation for being a culinary delight ... Melbourne makes up for it.
All in all Queensland is a great place to live ... I've been very happy here since retiring in '02. Of course I still write my crime stories that all take place in northern California .. and my publisher is in the UK! Go figure. (I like phrases like "more better" to describe things ... wonder why)

Thanks for sending a friend request to this mystery author! I've been to Australia once, to visit friends in the Sydney and Melbourne areas and do some snorkeling in Cairns and Port Douglas. I definitely want to come back sometime and see some more of the country.
