Publishing a Niche-Market Book=Cheap

Cost Effective Desk-Top Publishing of a Niche-Market Book

In this page are links to chapters that I have written to share my knowledge that I gained in my attempt to become a published author (in a cost-effective (aka ‘cheap’) way).   This endeavor started about 15 minutes after I held my first printed book in my hands….I realized that I simple HAD to share with others my journey that got me to that point.  My hope was that with my information, others would have a faster, less frustrating path to getting their ideas into a printed book in a cost-effective manner.
