More About the Author
I write the Ancestor Series of Adventure-hrillers and other thrillers. Before taking up the pen, I received graduate degrees from Michigan State University and The American Graduate School of International Management, served as an officer in the USMC, and spent many years in investment banking and finance. Now I spend my time writing, trying to master a decent golf game, playing racquetball and keeping fit. I live on a little island better known as Fort Myers Beach, in an apartment near the water I call the "Writing Rock." Feel free to email me at author@gracepublishing.org.

Compulsive Reader Review--Compulsive Reader.com,

This review is from: Creative Self-Publishing in the World Marketplace (Paperback)
"The book is very thorough, and covers every aspect of self-publishing, from the reasons for self-publishing to online resources, software to use, the development of your book, putting together a promotional list, setting up communications systems, book production, websites, promotion and legalities. As Creative Self-Publishing in the World Marketplaceis also self-published, it serves as an example of a finished product, whose format can be copied. Chamberlain doesn't hold back on any area either. He includes his own personal systems, cost estimates, and a range of tips and hints. This is not a book you can easily skim, however. The type is small, and there is little white space and no sidebars to break up the text. Chamberlain rarely repeats himself, and there are no lighthearted quips and few anecdotes. None of these are major criticisms, but it does make for a fairly heavy read. On the upside, the book is structured well, set up into months, so readers who have decided to use it as their bible to self-publishing (and if you are self-publishing you will certainly need some kind of guide) can pace themselves according to Chamberlain's chapters, keeping up a solid 3 year schedule from the purchasing the right software through writing the first draft of a book to the ongoing promotional plan."--Extracted from review by Magdalena Ball
