I have just finished my first book and want to share my experience with those of you who may want to know how to self publish, market, and enjoy the fruitys f your labor. Along the way we can learn about several subjects I find of interest. That's why I'm calling this Dr_Eclectic.

Starting my Tuesday and Saturday blogs. Interesting that today’s WSJ had an article about an established author, Seth Godin, who has jumped Publisher ship to self publish and have more control over distribution and continuing rights. More and more I find support for my decision to do likewise. Have an email from CreateSpace who are making overtures to working with me. Hope to talk to them tomorrow.
Just got back from seeing the Grand Canyon. A Ranger Tour of the fossils there has convinced me that I need to work on my Ancient World chapter before I publish. Also have ideas for untold stories in my first and third chapters. Guess it will be awhile before I feel my book is ready.
The Grand Canyon trip was our fourth annual family trip since we stopped the yearly SCUBA and/or ski trips. Have gone to Hawaii, Hilton Head, Door County, and now Arizona and our first two National Parks. Mary doesn’t count our day trip to the underwater museum on Oahu. We left the Canyon and drove to Lake Powell where we had three days on a 59’ houseboat. Lots of memories for my 5 year-old and 12 year-old grandsons. And a few for the rest of us too.
