![]() When I began writing Raymond's story 5+ years ago, I had no idea what I was getting into. My only self-publishing knowledge came from my previous experience writing and publishing "The 7 Keys to Change" in 2013. So, so much has changed since then, mostly having to do with what is equally important to writing the best book possible, knowing how to market it. I created a book page on Facebook devoted to sharing what I've learned with others writing their own books. The posts there reflect what I needed to know as I stumbled through the "now that it's written, how do I market it?" phase. I'm still stumbling, still learning to give the book it's best shot at success. If you're a first time author, or soon to be one, it might help you to spend some time on The Unlived Lives of Raymond Quinn page. Paraphrasing and slightly altering a line from Bob Seger's "Against the Wind", if I had known now what I didn't know then, things would have been much easier for me. You'll find much of what that is on the RQ page.
