A parcel from Amazon

I used to belong to a writing group. You would put your writing up and others would critique it for you. There were also competitions from time to time. I helped several people by editing their work and even got a credit in the front pages of one book. The book in the photo is by one of the former members. He lives in South Australia and has self-published. His books are available on Amazon and this arrived while we were away. I haven’t read this yet but his previous book was very engrossing and I’m hoping for the same here. I think it’s a mix of adventure/mystery/romance which would be fine with me.

@JudyEv Your presumptions seem to be based on books that you have read written by this author.

True. You don't learn anything from the title.

I have often wondered about self publishing books. How much does it cost the writer to self publish their own book?

I don't have any idea. I don't really know him well enough to ask.

@JudyEv - That is the best to do, only contact him to praise his book if you enjoy it.

I like that I know a little about the author. If I enjoy it, it will be nice to tell him so. If I don't, I guess I won't mention it. I'm not in regular contact with him.

I knew a few sites like that though I was not in any of them. They are more challenging for sure. Good that that one of the members from that group has stepped up to publish books.
