I I’ve done enough promoting. Either you are going to buy a copy of Tropical Treasure, or you won’t. If you do, I hope you enjoy it. I think you will. My vision has deteriorated so much that this is likely the last full length novel that I will write but I’m not whining. I had a good run of it and accomplished a goal. What I want to chat with you about today is serious. Ethics in writing. I’m a pretty good writer but I’ve never been a good businessman. But I do know the difference between right and wrong.
If I had been writing strictly to make money I would have never tried it. There is a woman writer who looks at writing through a prism of making money any way she can. For instance, she writes a series with a specific character. And publishes it. Then she writes another series with the same character. She shines just the TITLE of the first series and republishes it. An
innocent reader buys the book and thinks it is new only to find it a reprint. She claims to make a lot of money that way. But she won’t make many friends and she makes all writers look like crooks. In my experience writing for money is the worst reason for writing. If you write good fiction, readers will find it, tell their friends about it, and the money will come later. Of course with inflation now out of control in the US, all authors may have to raise the price of their books. Not because they want to, but if it costs more to publish, then it follows tht it will cost more to be a reader. I am going to consolidate all of my short work into one volume, but I’ll never try to trick you into buying a book of mine.
Tropical Treasure is book FIVE of the Jack Steven's action/adventure series set in the Caribbean. Each novel is a stand-alone book, but if you want to start at the beginning, pick up a copy of Tropical Knights. Because that is where all the action starts - and it never ends.
