My Best Selling Books (That I Can Claim)
Or at least I think these are my bestselling books. I have just over 16 million of my books in print (that I can count) under all my names, but these five, I think, were the top five sellers that I can claim. A couple of them I can’t and don’t count exact numbers. I’m doing this because, to be honest, I got a couple of comments from people wondering how I could give such advice like I knew what I was talking about. One guy thought I was an accountant just working with writers. Not kidding. I say in my short bio (that needs reworking) that I have sold…

Ghost Novel: The Day After
I just finished close to a 70,000 words on a novel I was hired to do by a New York publisher. Did it in ten days here and blogged about my days and how I did the words. The editor on the book reported that it arrived just fine. I can give ZERO hints about the content of the book, so please don’t ask. I only talked about the writing process and my day around the writing process. Someone local came up to me today and congratulated me on finishing the book and I said, “Congratulations on going to work today.” I do not think the person understood. (grin) Thanks…

Ghost Novel: Day 1
As I said in the previous post, I’m going to have one post per day here for the ghost novel writing process. (And no, this is not a novel about ghosts, this is me ghosting a novel because I was hired by a publisher. I explained all this in previous posts.)
