Books educate and inspire. Books help us to become better (or worse) human beings. Books are a mirror reflection of what we are. Show me a person’s bookcase and I know as much as I need to know about that person.
Writing and self-publishing are what it says on the can; you are your own publisher. It is your book; you are in complete control of your book’s presentation and publication. The copyright is yours as are the royalties. It is liberating and for many new authors, it can be profitable.
We are all familiar with Wrigley’s Chewing Gum but the story behind the Wrigley legend is well worth chewing over. I don’t have to hand the original so I fall back on memory.
From as far back as recall I was disadvantaged by an absence of savvy displayed by nationalist groups and their members including my own. Well-meaning and hardworking, self-sacrificing and loyal, there was, however, a woeful lack of political experience or willingness to learn.

Remembrance Day was originally intended to remind us of the futility of war. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marked the time the Armistice was signed at the end of WWI, or, as it was known at the time, The Great War, the war to end all wars.
Why live one life when by purchasing and reading books and novels you can live as many lives as you wish? You can accompany explorers, share the fields of conflict with the servicemen of many nationalities. You can fall in love with beautiful women and travel, solve crimes and be a part of any unfolding drama. Dilemma: With millions of titles available our problem as book buyers is to discover a novel that will turn us into a Paige Turner.
