Several of my friends across dozens of networks have asked me about getting published by a house that does marketing and distribution, inquiring specifically about Living Waters Publishing Company, which I started, and Still Waves Publishing Company.
I've never spoken against self-publishing, but it comes with a challenge: self-marketing and limited distribution. It is many times much better to take the advice and criticism of publishing houses to make your manuscript better. One of the biggest…

You are so right about us so-called 'smart' people. I do silly things all the time. My wife says I may have a brain but I was at the back of the queue when the common sense was being handed out...lol
Thanks for the kind words about the book. I hope I can justify all the faith that peopel are beginning to feel about my work. I just try to write stories that will thrill and entertain people at the same time, and of course, I research every one of my books thoroughly before I begin.
I just hope that 'Purple Death' does well in this month's awards. It would be great for Montario to have an award winner as one of his first published books. (As well as very nice for me).
I'm really ahppy for Aidana and LW that she won the award for the children's section. (I voted for her in that one, and again in this month's).
Well, I suppose I'd better go do some more writing, and also find another creepy cool picture to add to this message for you....lol
Take care and I look forward to hearing much more from you.
Warmest regards

Good job I came to your page today. You put your reply to my message here instead of on my page...lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that sometimes. I'm sure we can sort something out about the signatures. I've been doing signed book plate kind of things for readers in the USA of 'A Study in Red' . I'm flattered that you want them all.
I hope all's well in your part of the world today. I have to take one of dogs to the vet later. She's very ill today so I'm not getting much work done.
Best regards and I look forward to hearing more from you.

Nice to be a part of your friendship circle!

You are the creepy cool one... I'm glad to see you here too. I look forward to collecting all your books, with signatures if I can. (Wink, for my wishful thinking)
Welcome to Write Spot. Nice to see you here. Good luck with your latest book.
Best regards
