The TRAVELER'S HOT L Series

The original TRAVELER'S HOT L book contained eight short stories. It was a USA BEST BOOK AWARDS WINNER from the USABookNews.Com. The book was printed and sold by what the publisher called "CO-PUBLISHING." Since then the most common (and truthful) term is "VANITY PUBLISHING."

The total publicity I got from the publisher was to send me 10 copies of a very professional description of the book. That's all.

The author's name was wrong on the website, and no mention was made of the award.
Lesson learned: DO NOT SELF-(VANITY)- publish!  There are good independent publishers. There are also bad independent publishers.

I opted for KDP Publishing, part of the amazon mega family. Their service used to be more personal, but it still isn't bad. The have a strict policy on quality of writing. They also offer help with that. 

Amazon offers promotion packages. I have no experience with those.

Reality is, if you self/vanity/amazon publish, you won't get rich. There are many authors who make lots of money with amazon. But, there are more that don't.

Since I submitted TRAVELER'S HOT L, I've invested OVER TWENTY-THOUSAND DOLLARS in publishing. I've received a little over $1500 in royalties.

BUT I'M GOING TO KEEP WRITING.

THE TIME TRAVELER'S RESORT

TRAVELER'S HOT L - VOLUME 2

I can't type TRAVELER'S HOT L - VOLUME 3's title. You'll see why below.

This book is written the spirit of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but with a twist by an evil entity known by many names. 

Talking, directions, and time all backwards in this antiparallel world.

Tempus, one of the keepers of life-strings in, is trapped in that space and must return to her real time and must convince those trapped there must "look now to the heavens." 

In the end, the name of the entity holding the group in the is revealed, and is not happy by that.
