Lawyers and man...Hi and thanks for the kind words!<br /><br />Lawyers and many doctors often refer to birth-injured babies as "bad babies," as in "Mrs. X got a bad baby." It's a horrible way of expressing this, but it's typical in the industry, sad to say.<br /><br />Well, Chase is one of these precious ones.<br /><br />JohnJohn Ellsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253978941460283164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513788722632002093.post-41515163759411588752014-10-13T11:37:29.901-05:002014-10-13T11:37:29.901-05:00First. congratulations John on your bestselling se...First. congratulations John on your bestselling series. If I can only achieve part of your success, I'll be happy. Second, thanks for the invaluable writing tips straight from the trenches of self-publishing. I hope one of your tips is on having an engaging title. I <i>really</i> want to know why Chase is a bad baby!<br /><br />BTW, do I have to have read the prequels before I read <i>Chase</i>?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200769148051089815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513788722632002093.post-71158795989219543632014-09-10T18:23:38.200-05:002014-09-10T18:23:38.200-05:00Thanks Sarah, the book is with its editor now and ...Thanks Sarah, the book is with its editor now and hopefully will publish late next week or just after.

I've just finished number three, and can't wait to move on to your next. You really do entertain, as well as educate. Once in awhile, I come across a book that I hate to have end, or that, once put down, I think about and can't wait to come back to. You've given me that three times, and I am grateful. Please keep up the good work. We need the respite you provide.<br />Sincerely,<br />Dave HancockDave Hancockhttp://www.roofing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513788722632002093.post-35709704758620357982014-08-17T14:06:05.248-05:002014-08-17T14:06:05.248-05:00I've just found you and I'm glad I did!

It was all right but I had more bills to pay, so returned to law after about 3 years in a cube. <br /><br />Then I got burned out on law. But thru all this I was writing. From 1965 to 2014 I wrote novels that went nowhere (trad pub) and had an agent but "this wasn't right or that wasn't right" and I soon tired of the game. Found Kindle Direct Publishing and began putting my books up there--the rest is history. Now I sell tons of books and am in love with my readers, who are very kind to me.<br /><br />You CAN make the change!John Ellsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10253978941460283164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3513788722632002093.post-2318550084511919522014-08-12T14:39:21.617-05:002014-08-12T14:39:21.617-05:00Interesting that you're an ex-software enginee...Interesting that you're an ex-software engineer.
