Self-Publishing and Marketing Your Books

A number of people have asked me for advice on how to get their books published. This section is for them. In it, you can find out why I recommend self-publishing and get some direction on how to get started if that's the path you choose to take.

I did all my research almost 20 years ago, and a lot has changed with the revolution in technology. Check the library and bookstores, as well as the internet, for up-to-date information.
