As a small-time author, my sense is that most anyone can write their story, whether it be a church cookbook, flying experiences, bringing up kids, personal travel or a favorite hobby.  The keys, in my mind, are to write about what you know and, if non-fiction, include max photos to bring the tale to vivid full-screen. Computers, scanning, digital photos and user-friendly software make the “job” much easier.  Once done, and the masterpiece is on the coffee table, most of us small-time guys and gals enjoy some modicum of satisfaction.  

I‘ve not sold any of my books for the past five years.  These are on me at my cost, not including five bucks to mail, with but one suggestion:  Please make a donation to the National Naval Aviation Museum by going to:  navalaviationfoundation.org/donate , hit the donate button and the amount you want to donate. Suggestion: Humble $20; True Faith $20; Sea Buoy $25; Carrier Command $25.  For Carolyn: Please call me.  It’s easy, fast, makes me feel good and goes to a wonderful cause.  All the best.  Pete
