re: Off Topic: A brag about my new book

I have been writing on and off since since I was a freshman in high school. Over the years I wrote monthly published columns to aid my business, given stories as gifts, and created a series of stories about a mythical town to entertain people at church. I didn't start writing full-time until about a year ago. That's when I started writing these stories. In the last year or so, I've written 30 stories, and these 13 are the best. It seems like all my life was intended to end up in this place where I am now. Some of the stories were first bought and published elsewhere (I retain the rights). Because of those first sold stories, I have a book publishing deal on the table for my next book. Thanks for your kind words.
