Tobin S. should write a book, or several.

[demmiblue]

He has such a warm, down-to-earth and engaging style to his writing. I have read many of his stories over the years. I have been sad, happy and frustrated (the adjectives could go on) for him... yet, I always come away with the feeling that anything is possible. A true inspiration.

(Tobin, I don't mean to call you out or embarrass you. Please let me know if you want me to delete this.)

1. I think he knows this, demmiblue,

we've told him and he's assembled his short pieces and thought of publishing. He's a WONDERFUL writer.

2. Agree. eom

3. I would sure buy a copy.

[Tobin S.]

4. Thanks for the kind words, demmiblue.

Last winter I took all of the little stories I have written and put them together to form a book. It's a work that I think might have to be self-published. I haven't seriously tried to sell it to a literary agent or a publisher, but maybe I should start trying to do that.

5. I think I've told you this before, but

Check out CreateSpace.

It's part of Amazon. Easy to upload for print or e-book. You need help, contact me.

6. Thanks, Whino.

I appreciate the offer.

7. Perhaps you could ask some of the DUers what process they went through regarding getting their books

published. I'm sure they would help you out.

Good luck!

[Tobin S.]

8. I have asked a few people about that.

I don't know of anyone here who has a real book deal. Those who have published works have self-published.

10. talk to nolabear, DFW, and NRaleighLiberal

probably more, but I know all three of them are published

[Tobin S.]

11. I have talked to DFW. His book is self-published.

I don't know about the other two. I'll have to give them a shout.

[Kali]

12. I did not realize DFW's was, but goes to show

a decent book getting out that way. I enjoyed his novel quite a bit.

9. Some of us have been telling him that for years

Title the book something like

Trucking
The secret life of a truck driver
On the road musings
I learned everything while truck driving
Looking for the end of the road
Trucking is a life journey
