Yes, I'm self-publishing. A controversial move, but much less so than in the past. At this point it can't do me any harm, and might do me some good. The manuscript had been edited and re-edited multiple times, by others and myself, and was starting to build a little fan base. It's time for it to exist in another form, and it's time for me to learn how to market it.
From the back cover:
Seventeen year old Anna is a naive American orphan, delighted to find herself on a tour of Europe in the spring of 1939. A feeling of camaraderie with all mankind thrills her as she mingles with throngs of foreigners, but her joy is short-lived. WWII shatters the world. As fathers and sons, husbands and brothers dive grimly into the trenches, Anna is left stranded in England, disillusioned and afraid. However, this worldwide catastrophe may be the perfect catalyst to mature Anna into the brave young woman she longs to be. Even as the world is shadowed with disaster, Anna finds friends in the kindly Bertram family. In the midst of all that threatens to tear her world apart, will she find a place to truly belong?
My thanks to Megan Andrews for the back cover description.
The golf season is winding down, and I have to say (surprise!) that I'm ready for it to be over. It's been a good experience over all, but it's not my world. People look at me when I speak, and it's like they don't understand the language. In all fairness, I probably look the same when they start talking about golf. That world and mine are like oil and vinegar (to borrow a phrase from Anthony Trollope). Not to say that mine is better or theirs worse. They just don't fit.
Congratulations on your self-published book!
