Am I in the right place?
I'm a repurposed writer - after being silenced by the sledgehammer of traditional publishing, I've put my backlist books and some new books in e-book format and sell them in the Kindle Store. I also, love to chew over writing minutiae and talk about what readers really really want. Perhaps I'm not in the right place. I'm getting on in years and don't navigate these forums with ease.

Welcome! You're in the right place. Those conversations take place all the time.
Please publish your ebooks on Smashwords and other places. Not everyone ereads on a Kindle! You'll get better at the navigation. Glad to have you around. |

Welcome to the boards, cbaehr! It is very confusing here at first, but it's a wonderful resource for readers and writers alike.

Wow! Thanks for all the welcomes
I just received all the good cheer and welcome in my e-mail. Thanks all. Will do my best to make insightful contribution or at least my take on things. Also, will attempt to put a link to my blog.

It is good to mention that if you want to put your blog in your signature, you'll need a certain quantity of posts and time spent here.
