Albert B Ulrich III

Biography

My name is Albert B. Ulrich. My friends call me Al or Big Al. I have been an aquarium hobbyist for almost 30 years and my articles have been published in the hobby magazines Aquarium Fish International and Aquariums USA . I was on the board of directors of a local aquarium club, and I read and write about the hobby as much as I can. I have successfully bred the banggai cardinalfish, common clownfish and the neon goby.
I am a jokester at heart and I don’t like to take myself too seriously. I hope a little bit of that personality shows in my writing. I’m not really sure if it translates well to the written word–but I’m generally trying to joke around and have a good time. This hobby shouldn’t be a mystery–and newcomers to the hobby shouldn’t be surprised by preventable, predictable problems. My goal is to help others avoid making the same mistakes I made.

Smashwords Interview

What's the story behind your latest book?
I've been in the saltwater aquarium hobby for a number of years now, but I set out to write a book that would have helped me when I had first started out. A lot of the books out there are written with an academic tone--and I wanted to write something that everyone could benefit from.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
It's really easy to publish these days. I had no idea if what I wrote was any good or if it would even make it past an editor (I do have a quirky style)--so rather than send it out to be considered by traditional publishing I decided to go indie.
