I finally added an "About Me" page to my Web site

I've had the site since the mid-'90s, but I never had such a page on it. I don't think that was common, back then.

But every writer should do it. You can talk about yourself and your writing to excess, and it seems natural because, after, it's a page all about you. Who can object?

alligator wrestler? Really?

How does one even get into that kind of business?

Anyway, I'm just finishing my fourth novel, and I've bookmarked your page for future reference.

But hard to get out alive, or at least with all of one's body parts.

It's possible that I have those space opera beginnings somewhere. If so, it's probably best that I never reread them.

By the way, what are your plans for your novels?

Thank you David. That was interesting.

As far as my novels, the first three are now on Amazon, but I'm going to try the literary agent route first for the fourth.

I had the first three as one novel, but literary agents hate anything over 100,000 words from neophytes, so I split it up into 3 parts and now sell them separately.

My fourth is Part 4, and it's better than my first three put together.
