I didn't consider myself a writer though, despite having excelled in writing at school, or having kept a journal since I was fifteen. It wouldn't be until my late twenties when I made the connection that I'd been writing for almost as long as I'd been reading, thus I felt it was okay to admit, I was a writer. From there it wasn't long before I knew I was destined to wow the world with my short stories, novellas and novels At the time of this writing, I have four books in print. I didn't go through a vanity press, or spend the days sending query after query to publishers and literary agents. Instead, I did everything except the printing and binding; from book cover design, to buying my own ISBN and building my own website. I found a book manufacturer close to home who took my manuscripts and turned them into printed and bound masterpiecesview less
