Comments on Self Publishing Article - New York Times

“The point may soon come when there are more people who want to write books than there are people who want to read them.”

Winnin the 5th Quarter - The Game Never Ends

THE GAME NEVER ENDS

As we approach another end to the football season 1,200 NFL players will retire just like they do every year.

We've begun to… Continue

Latest Customer Review - A Study in Red

Here's the latest review to appear on the Amazon.com (US) site. I particularly appreciate this lady's words as she appears to be something of a Ripper student who normally doesn't read fictional works on the subject. I read her other reviews of a number of ripper books and four stars appears to be her top rating for any of them
