A valentine for e-writers
Trans-Taz alert: Here come the Petersens
Amazon’s e-book publishing platform turned out to be “not user friendly” — at least that was the outcome for this user. Yet I have been able to use an alternate platform to publish e-books, Google’s Blogger.
As long as I am able to cope with making no money from my work, the platform is satisfactory — and I recommend that method to other writers who believe they have something to say that would benefit others.
I am considering using Substack for an alternative. An e-book would be sent in sections, with a paid subscription for the separate newsletter embodying the e-book. Even so, I am rather skeptical that that would work for me, as I still face political difficulties from the Dark State that is still functioning despite Trump’s efforts.
In any case, other writers may wish to experiment with these ideas, even if I don’t get around to the latter venue.
Below are links to my e-books — both reverent and irreverent — on Blogger. (In the case of the “Funny Stuff” link, I found that cutting and pasting it automatically made it go dead.)
So Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you book writers! If you can get some recognition for e-books published in the ways I suggest, you may attract the attention you need to go on to financial success!

For the heck of it, here are lyrics for a song that ain’t got no melody, and ain’t got no chords either. In fact it ain’t got no musical score of any kind. But there is a bit of a hidden message that relates to the playlist. Well, no, it’s not really a message…
GONE IS MY BABY
My baby she don't
need me no more
She don't need me this morning, for sure
Her sweet voice
hit me like thunder
down I went, my whole world asunder
Chorus:
Gone is my baby
and I've gone crazy
Gone is my baby
and I've gone crazy
Instrumental bridge
I used to feel
mountain-top high
like I was dreamin' along in a lullaby
Sure would like
her sun to return
and heal up this bad, horrible burn
Chorus:
Gone is my baby
and I've gone crazy
Gone is my baby
and I've gone crazy
Maybe tomorrow
she won't be no stranger
Maybe it's then I'll put a ring on her finger
Yet now I know
that falling for girls
will leave you with a mean case of the swirls
Outro and chorus:
Gone is my baby
and I've gone crazy
Gone is my baby
and I've gone crazy
