Hello from Edward J. Coburn
Well, I'm just about finished with my Christmas book. I hope to be done today. It is not very long. It should be less than 50 Word pages when done. I'm not sure how many Kindle pages it will be.
Today I have updated the following tabs:
1. On Gambling
2. On strokes and other problems

Working on my non-fiction Christmas book
Hello from Edward J. Coburn
I had yesterday off for Veteran's day. Nice. I worked on my books.
Well, I am hard at work on my non-fiction book for Christmas. It's a how-to book and, as such, has lots of picutures. Unfortunately, Smashwords has a 5 megabyte limit on the size of the manuscript and mine is way beyond that. Thus, I am having to shrink my images so they are smaller in size and will allow a smaller manuscript. At least that's the hope. But, if I can't get it down small enough for Smashwords I will still publish it on Amazon. I am not going to give up.
More later, I hope to find the time.

A bit about writing and Work
Hello from Edward J. Coburn
Onto writing. I have discover a web site that proports to be the largest publisher of indie (independent) books called Smashwords so I republished both of my books
on Smashwords. The interesting thing is that you post to their site using a Word document and they have an engine that translates it to 9 different formats and it gets sent to 9 different web sites that sell books (such as Barns and Nobel). You have to follow their rules (such as what fonts and styles to use) but if you're versed in word, they're not hard to follow. Wish me luck there.

Well, not much to say again today except that I had an okay week at work. I am currently doing corrections on 84 invoices that were converted incorrectly several years ago. Some of them take several hours each.
