Publishing on Amazon’s Kindle: Creating the eBook
I self-published my first book “Noah’s Noodles” on Amazon’s Kindle platform. I describe the book here. The process getting to that point was relatively smooth, but also had its share of bumps.

My Xbox rock controller
My son sees the world around him in very unique ways. So when he presented me with this “Xbox controller” rock he found, then painted, my heart just swelled.
Showing and telling
As I wrote my first novel, I would often struggle and pause, thinking about the distinction between showing and telling. Too much telling, and there’s no life. To much showing, and the reader can get lost, or overwhelmed.
