Susan and her husband James Byrd live and work in a log cabin with five dogs and two cats in the middle of a forest. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? Well, get busy going through those archives — there’s a book in there!

    LaVonne,
    Susan and James have a tremendous amount to offer aspiring authors, and their system has worked really well for the books they’ve published in the last few years. I’ve learned a lot from them as well. For people who are fascinated by the incredible opportunities in self-publishing and indie publishing, you’ll find a list of “52 Great Blogs for Self-Publishers” and a ton of other resources at http://www.TheBookDesigner.com that will keep you reading for some time. Thanks!
