    Hi Nadia, I see you do poetry. I love poetry and have tried it but I have to be honest, it only really hits me every few months. So that hardly makes me one. I do try and add them to my novels though. One of those "can't resist" things.
    Would love to read some of yours.

    Hi Gretchen,

    Your book sounds really interesting. Good luck with it.

    I hope this finds you well and South Africa?

    That alone is interesting
    Wishing you the very best

    My first words I am told were Japanese Gretchen but I don't speak it fluently... Been there a few times since being born though and love the culture and the people:)
    Thank you for being a friend

    Now is always the best time for anything. :)
    I am about to have my first published book. It is an exciting experience - but also daunting, because the whole self marketing idea does not appeal to me too much.
    Any advice on how best to go about this?

    Dear Susan,
    To be honest - I have not done too much, but I know I should.
    Where to start?

    Maybe you can tell me how you get a Lulu published book onto Amazon. Can you?

    Thank you for your interest.

    Hi Gretchen,

    Thanks for your message. The interview with Dr. Capista was for anyone who purchased his book. We didn't open this to the public, but have had numerous requests to do another interview. It is likely we will very soon.

    My best

    I had a bit of a shock this past week when I suddenly discovered that
    having my book on Lulu was turning out to be a nightmare.
    I am wondering how many of you self-published authors have used Lulu, but live out of the USA? It seems that if you want to be paid royalties - you need to have a USA Tax Certificate first. Now why I wonder. if I don't live there? Can anybody help me with this issue?
  • John Kremer

    I don't have any knowledge about the legality of what Lulu is doing. They should be able to pay you -- if nothing else, via a PayPal account.
  • Gretchen Wilsenach

    I have just been told of a writing sojourn that will take place in
    Italy.
    It looks fantastic and I wonder how many of you might also be
    interested?
