I have always written, beginning with early diaries. Finally after finishing an unpublished novel, I put up some money and self published two books; The Video Tape Post Production Primer and Getting that Job iMotion Picture, Cable and Television Industry. Both sold, but I managed to resell the video book to a real publisher. Since then, I have written 13 books. Some were published by Focal Press, a technology publisher, and some I did myself.
