Perfect Hobby for Us

I've been writing and uploading my novels and non fiction to e-book providers like Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.

If you've heard about the Kindle or Nook readers, you know that its all the rage. Books are cheaper, delivered wirelessly and don't take up a ton of room in the house. You can even lend them. The books I've done so far are:

My Journey to Freedom and Ultralight Backpacking-


Everything Except Corn Pasta- this is also non fiction, and is a cook book full of recipes and trail stories. Its for the do it yourselfer, cook, camper and frugalist.

I've seen a lot and read a lot about end of the world, apocalyptic scenarios. I live way out in the boonies, so I pondered what that would mean for us, baring a sun falling from the sky end of days thing. The series, End of Days is the result of my in depth look at the grid going down.
There are three books in this "trilogy", or series. You don't hear the word trilogy so much anymore. I guess its going to end up as a series anyways, cause I'm already thinking of the next book.

A Measured Response (Book 1:End of Days)


Journey North (Book 2 :End of Days)


The Calendar Keeper (Book 3: End of Days)


Writing e-books is an easy hobby in that it doesn't take a lot of fancy equipment or require workouts that will leave you wounded.
I love the mental challenges of finding words to use instead of "said". My list reads something like:
repeated, told, replied, asked, revealed, laughed, chuckled, quipped, speculated, argued, protested, snorted, sniggered, wondered, pondered, and added.

There are many more examples of synonym searches. I figure it helps prevent Alzheimer's. Keeps me off the streets as well.

Anyone can write a book using their word program, upload and market it. Create a book cover in your paint program. Its fun, and who knows, you may be the next Stephen King.




The Kindle application which makes this possible is free and found at Amazon.com.
