The Self Publishing 12 days of Christmas for 95 % of us...

What does Christmas mean for the majority of us self published authors. I think of the 12 days of self publishing... Scrooge approved. 1. The usual "Gesh, I didn't know you wrote a book! Where did you find time for that" from festive long lost friends or relatives. 2.

I will more than likely complete the cover on Part 5, and finish the body, but this probably will be the last, if results are much the same as for the rest of the serie
