John Lee

Biography

Hi I'm John Lee,
I'm a 56 year old chap living in Kimore Australia.
I have just completed my first book "A Tail of our Doggies". and have had it published by Smashwords and Kindle. If you would like to read it , it is readily available from either of these sites. I'm quietly confident that you cannot read this book whilst maintaining a straight face, the mayhem and often madness needs to be seen to be believed. I am three parts the way through writing my second book "A Tail of our Horses", this is also a true story, and based on our lives and our personal experiences with the many horses we have owned over the years.And I finally hope to round of my first episode of book writing with a final book to form a trio, this last one to be called, "A tale of us" This final story is a story about my wife and I from the day we met up to the current day, I really believe it will make interesting reading indeed. I hope you enjoy my first book, and any feed back, positive or negative would be greatly appreciated.
In my spare time I play guitar and sing proffessionally, I was in a duo for approx 10 years, but am now looking for a new partner, prefferably a keyboard, or Bass player who doesnt mind a bit of background or harmony singing.

Smashwords Interview

What motivated you to become an indie author?
I have always been interested in writing stories, but the more I looked into the usual way of Publishing the more I realized it is very hard to get recognition from the many Publishing Houses. Add to this it costs a small fortune
to get ones book made into a hard cover, and quite often they only Publish a small amount and rely on Supply and demand. Self Publishing on line is not as hard as one would think, as long as the font is correct, and the paragraphing is correct, and you possibly have someone to peruse your Manuscript before submitting it, well I have found things go rather smoothly.
How has Smashwords contributed to your success?
I cannot claim any success as yet, I don't expect to ever become a best selling Author, I enjoy writing and always see the funny side of things.
Smashwords has been very helpful to me with it's ease of use.
