Hello

I've been a musician all my life (so far) and thought it might be cool to write a book about it, so I gathered up some of my experiences from the nooks and crannies of my brain and wrote a mystery called "The Beast From the Back of the Bus", using characters and places I've know and been. It's here: http://calsharp.com/beast.html I bought a computer years ago to facilitate my literary endeavors and became so enamored of it that I morphed into a web developer.

I've had a couple short stories in "AHMM" and some articles published in some music magazines and do a blog at http://steelguitarmadness.com/insanity/

I'm living on a "gentleman's farm" in the hills of Tennessee, writing, webbing, picking a steel guitar and designing ebook covers. So that's my story.

Here is a little bit of advice from someone who is sort of a book worm. I would use Calibre to translate your text to AZW and epub format and post those for sale on your web site. AZW is amazon's proprietary Kindle format and epub will cover the rest of the ebook readers.
