Looking for Paul B’s book

[Mastiffsrule]

I am trying to get Cristie Brinkly to read it as an audio book. To me anyway. :rolleyes:

I say we grab some bats, start at that nursing home and do a targeted search from there. Need to go old school.

Would you hear any of the words coming out of her mouth?

I’m curious why Paul B didn’t just publish it himself instead of using them ‍[emoji848].

I say re-publish it and charge double now [emoji48]. I’ll still buy it. I’ll pay triple for the audio book [emoji28].

 

[Paul B]

When I decided to write a book, they contacted me and said they could publish it and they knew how. I knew nothing about publishing and didn't know that Amazon will print books as they are ordered and ship them.
Now I know all of that but they won't let me print it until I get permission from the last publishers. I hope to get it soon.
I have my copy and still read it to see if I still believe myself. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't. :)

 

[Paul B]

I got the guys phone number and I called him. No answer so I left a message. I will keep calling

Thank you for continuing to pursue this Paul - we're cheering for you! I, along with many others, appreciate your insights and I look forward to reading your book and adding it to my bookshelves.

 

[Paul B]

I am calling him again right now

 

[Paul B]

I am not sure how to re-publish the thing and am not sure if I could find all of the original manuscripts. I called them three times and left messages, but so far ,nothing. I am still trying. Maybe I will send smoke signals.

 

[Maacc]

Maybe you need a ouija board :eek:

 

[WWIII]

I E Mailed the guy three times and I can't find him. I have his phone number but I get a nursing home. :eek:
He posts sometimes on Facebook and I am trying to track him down.

 

[Paul B]

I just called again and left a message. I think I will call back Amazon and see if there is anything I can do.
I have the manuscripts (I think) but they put in the pictures and cover so I may have to re do that.

 

[Maacc]

Is Christy Brinkley available for the new cover? :eek:

 

[Paul B]

I will go see her today. :rolleyes:

Paul - if you need a publisher’s help let me know as I’ve been working with Wiley on a book and can connect you with the guy heading the project if you want.

 

[Paul B]

Ok, Thanks, that sounds cool. I found the manuscripts from chapter four on. But so far I can't find the first 3 chapters. Amazon has the entire thing so if I can convince them to just print the thing again, that would be the best thing.

 

[Paul B]

It looks like my book may be out again soon. I want to read it in case I forgot what I said. The guy publishing it, (Chris) got in touch with me and he thinks he figured out how I can get it in print again.
I have to re-submit the entire thing to Amazon and with his help and a few hours of computing, I should be able to do it.
It has been a few years since I wrote it so I may add another chapter if I can. I am not sure if I can do that but I may try. I also want it in a E Book and a paper book.
Maybe I will have it in a leather bound, hard cover like "War and Peace". Or maybe not.

 

[Mastiffsrule]

Sounds good. Keep us updated

Will you have a Reader's Digest Condensed version? :rolleyes:
