The Story of My Life

Autobiography of the Treasurer of Hillsdale College, 1862-1877

Paperback - On Amazon, $4.69 + postage
Kindle - Only $1.05

Lorenzo Reynolds was my great great grandfather. That's why, when I found this typed document among my genealogical papers, I felt some obligation to get it out to the public. But as a writer, I'm very impressed by his crisp style (while I have, myself, fallen into sloppy tortured sentences at times). He's clear, powerful, and strong, and he has a grudge against a certain character at Hillsdale College, in Michigan. He tells his story thoroughly and carefully.

He was the Treasurer right through the great fire, and through some very important times. His pioneering, and his family, are also of interest. Whereas he has gotten his story of the college out already, this is the first that I know where he has told his life story. It's worth it.

Check it out here.

It is read by David Parker, who does a fantastic job.

The ACX-generated title in my opinion makes the main title unreadable. I have brought this up with ACX and they have agreed to put my picture up there. I realize it's the pandemic and not all of these things are easy or can be done at home. But I would like a better picture to advertise my work, and I believe they will do it.

This is a collection of old but classic stories - really the first of my writing, and definitely the classic, esl-related, bold style. I have promo codes, by the way. That means, if you already have ACX (you have to join), write me and I will provide you a free copy. I keep all my promo codes. I give them to friends. I don't know too many people who are on ACX. But those who are, I offer you some good stories.

Eighteenth Century Leveretts - A genealogist's journey

paperback on Amazon $8.40 + shipping
on kindle $4.99

Tells the story of an incredible family - actually several families - that lived through the times of hardship in Boston before the Revolutionary War. It was an uncertain time - some records may have been lost during the witch trials, and again during the revolution itself, but this book tells how the families intertwined and finally came to leave the city.

Post-Covid Haiku

Available on Kindle $3.29

This was the original volume and represented the 100 haiku straight from the single week of April 2020. Not all had perfect kigo, that is, no traditional season clue as is expected in traditional haiku. The volume was accepted for Kindle but rejected by Amazon which (I suspect) was hesitant to print anything with Covid in the title. I rewrote the haiku to a higher standard (see above) and changed the title. This volume is still available.

New Round of Promo

Five Second Rule, available on Amazon

I write my own stories and do my own promotion, which is my only excuse for any given sluggish sales periods. Actually I sell them ok and enjoy watching them sell, but I really don't have much time; I go through long periods where I can't really do promo, much less writing. So the books sit there on Amazon and one thing I've noticed is that their rating goes steadily downward, which is upward in number: 1,569,328 today, 1,770,359 tomorrow. What I want is for them to go the other direction. It's not because I'm starving or need to put food on the table, although I do need to put food on the table. It's more that, now that I'm not the world's best math teacher, I need something for my identity to wrap around.

But fortunately, I've been working on this other side of myself: namely, I'm a Kandinsky-ist pop artist. The computer has this way of taking an ordinary photo, and kandinsky-izing it, as the one above. I do it to a lot of photos, but I have to be careful here, because, if I'm making money on it, I should be using only my own photos. I promise not to steal any photos for this enterprise; it's my writing. But using this pop art for my promos is my new thing. It's time to have some fun.

Then comes another thing, and this is something I have never thought of. Am I indie? Of course. It's entirely my own press, with no help, nobody else involved, no publishers, etc. Yet I've never really taken up that indie label. Why not? Not sure. I've been busy. I have ten kids, the last of whom are the most difficult. But the fact is, I'd never thought of it. There's a whole world out there of indie promotion and self-promotion. Time to explore that world, and put a foot in it!

Promos coming up. I finally got some time to set them up, and I did. I'll keep you informed! Also, check out my facebook page!
