Have you ever thought that you'd like to write the next "Great American Novel"? Well, give it a try. The things that make you who you are, might just be pretty interesting to other folks. But more importantly, it would leave a mark, kinda like carving your initials in an old pine tree.
Many people lately have been using the services of published writers to make their own books on family, adventures, travels and thoughts. The finished product resembles a life story, complete with photos and anecdotes.
Not that long ago, an elderly gentleman and I sat down to a pot of coffee a few times and he told me his life story. He was ninety-four at the time. I recorded everything he said for days. Then I went to work, writing his story. What turned out was beautiful. He gave a copy to each of his children and grand children.
I guess that if you pass this way and don't leave a record of being here, no one will remember you in a few years and that would be sad. So consider a book, all about you. It would make a great Christmas gift for those you care about like your son, daughter, grand children or even the mailman.
You can find the EBook Kindle edition of this book at Amazon.com and at www.peaceriverbooks.com. The Peace River Books blog is updated each day.
Stop in once in a while. I'll try to write something new and informative about my book brothersbyfire.
Good Reading,
Ron
