Okay, if you are the handsome gent in the black and white photo, who is the foolish youth killing that poor fish in the color photo?? Blessings to you always, EarthAngel!!
Hi EarthAngel, Nice of you to stop by. That is my brother-in-law holding the fish, but I have plenty of pictures of me doing likewise. I use a flyrod and practice catch and release. It’s an art, beer and all. The fish swims back… you should try it sometime. (Oh and by the way, you must be really intelligent to recognize me as that “handsome gent.”)
I looked you up online after reading your hub, “What Does Published Mean?”
Love this website and am going to bookmark it.
Hi Gail, Thank you for visiting! I appreciate your interaction, comments, and critiques. Can I assume you are a writer? (Maybe it’s the fish and beer that caught your eye.)

I acquired your name from the St. Louis Writer’s Guild website. I’m writing you regarding an idea we’ve had to help writer’s record audio versions of their works. We are a full service recording studio in St. Louis that has worked on a number of audio book projects. It occurred to us that local authors might have interest in recording. To that end we are considering setting up a special St. Louis author’s rate.
Our studio offers production/direction and everything an author might need to get a profession, finished product, ready for market. The big question is, is there interest in this idea. Thus my letter to you. If you have the time I’d love your input as to your thoughts and any ideas you might have or even if you would be interested in recording, yourself.
I realize this email is out of the blue. But I figured it might be a good idea to go right to the authors themselves.
Thank you in advance for your input.
Hi Keith, Thanks for stopping by. Audio works well for poetry; however, not so well for longer works, unless you’re making a “book-on-tape.” Obviously, that’s merely one opinion, so…. I believe that making covers for ebooks would be a worthwhile and potentially lucrative endeavor. Jeff.
