First New Blog post since April 5, 2011

This is the first blog post I have written since April 5, 2011. I took a well deserved rest since the publishing of Cancer on my Mind in November 2011. I had three book readings in 2011, the first one was well attended (30 people!) because of favorable the column news article in the Pacifica Tribune. I did not expect such a crowd and a deeply personal and in depth Q & A session.

I have sold 90 copies of my book since I self published it on Booklocker.com, mostly through in person book sales and 20 I Pad and Kindle purchases.

I emailed 20 SF Bay area book stores to solicit book readings and quickly learned that my brain tumor survivor books are not accepted by book stores as a pop book genre. My book content is for a very narrow book reader group, those that are diagnosed with cancer or a brain tumor.

My book is written totally from the perspective on a brain tumor patient and I delayed self publication to re-write an evil talking brain tumor into the book, to let the reader understand what brain tumor want to do to humans, kill us!

I have taken a break from book promotion and have started to live a post seven year book publishing life, filled with reading books, seeing movies, and enjoying my friends company.

If you have any comments, please post them to this blog.

Life everyday like it is your last, because you never know what might happen tomorrow!

Thank you for your support,
