hi rory,
thx for the great comments and advice.
nope, no publisher yet. i'm hoping a publisher - again, a really good publisher - will see and like this thread and will come to me with an offer. *waving arms in air* so, if you or anybody reading this knows a really good one, please pass them this link that will bring them to the beginning of this thread:
i'm writing a book - right here!
right now, i'm focusing all my available hours on the task of assembling all the writings that are listed in the above outline and am adding a few new chapters to the mix.
next, i'll tackle the task of reformatting my multi-media slide show to take on the road in late Spring of 2008. i don't have the kind of $ or time to spend on a conventional route to finding a publisher...and i already tried that once back in 1990 when i signed a two-year contract with a literary agent. the guy was really enthused about getting me a book deal, then after he sent it out to three publishers with no results, he gave up. so, i'm not in a hurry to get a literary agent again.
hey, if anyone here refers me to the right publisher, i'll give you ten free copies of the book and the first ride in my travelair biplane - the one i'm going to buy myself when i make my first million!

p.s. as far as me reading books? ...well, no....
i still hate to read books.
puts me instantly to sleep.
