Quite some time ago probably as a result of this blog I started to write a book!!
Someone asked me quite recently from where did I get the idea. (Note the lack of a dangling participle!)
I've no bloody idea!! I'd recently read an article somewhere on the activities of Special Forces in Borneo and I just started writing. Darndest thing.....it took on a life of its own! The characters became real people to me. It actually became invasive which is something I didn't expect. After I'd killed off a couple of the characters I had the idea of creating a trilogy......."Gema: A Troopers Tale" being the first tale. Now it's published and I'm half way through the second epistle entitled: "Dire Straits: A Trooper's Tale."
It's exciting; for months I didn't know what to do. Traditional Publishers have gone the same way of big box stores making it almost impossible to get published in a traditional manner but e-books are a different cup of tea altogether! The growth of e-reading is staggering with the proliferation of readers and pads.
Books such as mine are published in a number of electronic languages allowing them to be purchased and read almost anywhere and utilizing any brand.
That's exciting! I wrote the book for fun and now it's published. How about that!
