Comments and threads go off in different tangents, and you invariably end up getting engaged in the keyboard warrior stakes. When all you wanted when you first read the post is 5 minutes of interesting content!

Writing a book is easy. Getting it bought by the public is the hard part. I thought I’d completed the task of researching, writing, editing, and finding a publisher. Then, I was faced with the real challenge of getting people to read my work! To give you an example, “From Handbags to Hand Grenades” was released in January 2025.
