I am a registered nurse/attorney, now retired. I now rehabilitate wildlife in the spring, enjoy the summer restfully and with my garden and do most of my writing in the fall and winter. I am fascinated with so many issues pertinent to life today: Economics, health care, animal protection issues, politics, our form of government and philosophy encompass some of those issues. My most important concern: True morality meaning not needlessly and intentionally causing pain or death to any living thing.
I have written two childrens books, many poems and many short stories, mostly about wildlife. I am only now, since my retirement, attempting to publish my writings. I am also interested in writing books on law in our society and medicine in our society, some self-help and some just philosophical and explanatory.
I am in the process of self publishing my first novel through Booksurge/Amazon. This book will be published as a paperback and for Kindle. It is entitled The Final War and 3001--Birth of a Political Renaissance. The novel is a futuristic politically progressive fiction.
In my book, fundamentalist Christian factions and fundamentalist Islamic factions transform all governments into oppositional theocracies This ultimately leads to the Great Religious War. The War kills off more than 99 percent of the population, Only those at the highest of elevations in the mountains all over Earth survive.
The book follows the surviving humans and animals while they attempt to endure. What about the terrible impact on the new generation? Can humanity survive despite calamitous after-effects from the war? Will there be another renaissance or will human life decay into anarchy? How will another economy come about? What impact will follow from changes in religious views immediately after the War? Will a sustainable code of morality replace old religious doctrine? Will members of the human species finally learn how to live in sustained peace? What will life be like in 3001? How will technical, social and political life evolve? Will this truly be the Final War? And, finally, will life be better or worse than it is now?
I now have a new website!! Come and see it at thefinalwarand3001.com. I also have a new email for the book which is thefinalwarand3001@sbcglobal.net.

Hi Priscilla. Thanks for asking me to be your friend! Your novel sounds very interesting. I am a published author, and when my publisher went out of business, I decided to self-publish. However, I didn't need to start from scratch. I was looking more for a print-on-demand printer. I found a great resource, and have since used my knowledge and connections to help two other authors publish three books.
My process is all a la carte, so if a book meets my requirements, I can get it into the distribution pipeline as a print-on-demand book for as little as $175, which includes the ISBN, listing in the Ingram and Baker & Taylor catalogs, and one proof copy of the book. If you'd like to talk about getting your children's books into print, contact me at publisher (at) find-tech.biz.
Best of luck with your book sales. Here's some info I wrote about marketing your book: http://is.gd/hsfw
The book Brothers Popovic is a novel based on a true family saga of a Croatian family who escaped in the mid 1930s by running riding and walking through their country and Slovenia to stow away on ships they thought were going to America. If you have time check it out at steverroberts.com

The combination of experience/education in medicin and law should lead to some interesting insite for novel development.
If you don't mind, I assume 'Herochik' is of east European ancestry? If so you may want to check my web site www.steverroberts.com regarding the book 'Brothers Popovoic' which is and insirational novel of six brothers immigrating to the U.S. in the mid-1930s.
