I put more time into these two books than the others I’ve written. These are great books – while the others fill a need and give good information. In my case – those that meet a clearly defined need – are selling well. These other two books – my fiction thriller and my latest motivational [...]

This new book – Kicking Life’s Ass! will be in the self-help and motivational categories at Amazon’s Kindle store. There is a lot more competition there than in smaller niches. Anybody write a new book in a big category – and just start killing it? I think this is the reason my “Kicking Smoking’s Ass!” [...]

Anybody have the slightest idea when Apple updates sales figures for Smashwords books they sell? Apparently they are up to date as of Nov 27th. Well dorks, that was more than 60 days ago. For a company making BILLIONS of dollars each year, you’d think they’d be on a faster payment schedule for authors – [...]

I’ll stop writing about our climbing book sales. Well, the exact numbers anyway. Unless I hit a million and can’t contain myself. January sales have been outstanding – and I can only hope – or start believing in a God that hears me if I pray – that this trend continues. A year ago I [...]

I’m looking for some new and good ebook writers – at least new to me. I don’t read much at all. I feel like I don’t have time to read other authors because I’m getting writing done (GWD) for myself. I look at reading ebooks other than my own as a luxury that I cannot [...]

Ok, now I have 3 books in the works. I didn’t have access to the one I’m almost done with so I started others. “Kicking Life’s Ass!” is coming shortly – and is really one of my finest books. Still needs editing though. Any wanna be editors out there? Recent grads? Send me your rates [...]

I had an interesting thought just now. For the past 12-13 years I’ve been creating online businesses. When they show a profit I usually just pocket it. I can do that because I’m not spending money – just time – to create the venture. Maybe writing ebooks for a career is different. I haven’t heard [...]

I basically started writing a little bit back in 1996 – doing a journal about some Buddhist meditation I was having fun with. I didn’t write my first full-length (125,000 words) fiction book until 2007. Since then I’ve written more than probably 99% of you reading this. I’m not bragging – just telling it how [...]

Kicking Life’s Ass! is a new book that I’ve nearly finished. I have 100+ pages written. I have 2 outlines and I can’t decide between them. Sounds crazy right? Welcome to Fook’s World. I started writing according to one outline – then I switched computers one time when we had lightening, and wrote on my [...]

Despite asking everyone in the world the following question, you’ll not get the right answer… “Am I a good writer?” Ask your publisher and she’ll insist you’re a good writer, after all – she hooked you up with the book deal, right? Ask your mother – she’ll say you’re the best writer on the planet [...]
