I am not sure where this one is going, but I am writing again.
I bought a new video camera and plan to accumulate enough clips for months of book trailers and meditation videos.

As the last two weeks have meandered on I find the impetus to change the series into an alternate history. The current outline has Qua Nie and his fellow spiritual seekers joining the Iroquois Confederation survivors and the Red River Valley Metis to create an underground confederacy. The good news is that I have an excuse to visit the Red River Valley and the routes from there to the Ottawa River.

I have sought advice from a variety of folk. I am still a work in process. I am working on a six month business plan.
I am not writing any more of the Qua Nie and Diamond Adair series. I will continue to market them.
I am working on some literary novellas and a non-fiction work on ebook creation and publishing.
I find some demand for my storytelling. In fact I got paid for storytelling in 2011, which makes once again a professional storyteller. 
Any of you who know me and have other insights into things I might pursue please contact me.

I also revised and re-issued the 1997 Duan and Bia: Two Stories. I now have four books in hard copy on Amazon and on Kindle, along with five other  Kindle EBooks. I have eight titles on Nook and ITunes. I am taking some time to visit the Black Rock Desert and Lake Tahoe areas as some climactic scenes from the next Diamond book take place there.
I have been doing market research on the writing and publishing coaching projects and determining rates. I should have those settled and online by mid-November

I am going to use this site to market coaching and workshops for writers who need assistance with completing a work of fiction and for those who want to publish an EBook.  All of my research tells me that the odds have tilted irreversibly from traditional publishing. I have six books in EBook format and four in print. The Ebooks are selling more than the print.
