Rodger Pettichord Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Hi all. Forum reader John York has published several very nice novels (available on Amazon). I have put a four-book series of novels on Amazon and am working on a new book. As part of my latest research, I have stumbled on a number of memoirs and novels by people of Forum age who went ahead and wrote that book they had always wanted to write. Which leads to this week's topic. THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC: Have you written and published a book or books? How can we order a copy (copies)? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Q Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Well, yes. But #1, it is rather dry reading, and doesn't have much of a plot. And #2, it was published in 1989, so has been out of print for years. A quick search on line did find it apparently available (and with very flattering ratings). These may be used or remainders. Anyway, here's the reference: Karen Quinn and Kenneth Quinn, A Manual of the Old English Prose, NY, Garland Press. 1989. (Garland Reference Library of the Humanities).

adambar Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 No, but I did a lot of doodling in high school that made my teacher blush. Not my fault she snuck up behind me. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W2DR Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) I wrote a book a couple of years ago about my sex life. But could never find someone who wanted to publish it. The book is in two volumes: Volume A: Thinking About It Volume B: Talking About It Edited November 21, 2021 by W2DR 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
