Self-Publishing

A gentleman named Ralph Lagergren came into the store several months back and talked with me in-depth about his inventions and his drive. Google for him, I think you'll find he's been quite busy. There are a rare few people you meet in the world, and Ralph is one of them. I was immediately impressed by his humble, yet powerful presence.

He and I have kept in contact through a series of problems he's had with his Mac, and through this, he's finally inspired me to do something I didn't even fathom at the time.

Over the next couple of weeks I will do what Kramer had suggested all along and compile a collection of all the short stories I've put written over the years, and self-publish the collection into ten to twentry books that I'll either sell or distribute to family and friends. I don't know what costs are going to be, but I'll cross that part of the bridge when I get there. The first part is digging through my piles of work, cleaning them up, and then talking to someone in the printing business about what I need to do. Worst case scenario, my first publisher will be Kinko's.

It's time to make something happen. Can't "die with the music still in me", as Ralph put it. He's also demanded a time table on when 'Jesus VII' will be finalized. I can't give it to him just yet, but the pressure cooker is starting a low whistle again, which means more pages and more self-flaggelation.
