While there are tons of books on how to write a novel or nonfiction book, and how to market your book, there is little written about the business end of self-publishing. This is directed at American authors because this is my primary area of expertise. Taxes, accounting, and all the mundane that goes along with running your own business.

    A very quick read. High intensity told in first person of a nurse and her brush with zombies. Infected by a age old virus the town becomes zombies.

    This is a fabulous novel! From the first line to the last. Young Alexander Hawk is conscripted into the army for a rescue mission on another planet. Step by step and with his own ingenuity, he becomes the fighting machine the military needs to save the Macktonic planets from annihilation and defeat the Raptors. I highly recommend this novel, but be warned hang onto the seat of your pants for a roller coaster ride. Brilliant imagination for the author, Thomas Wilson. Can't wait for the sequel.
