Perhaps I should rename the title of my blog. How about It takes an author, an idea, emotional expression, creativity, an editor, a publisher,a marketer, a little money, and the determination of barn swallows that build multiple bird nests on my front porch. Yes it takes that and more to come up with a book that a reader is willing to read, and even pay a few dollars for that privilege.
This is my first attempt to navigate a new website for the promotion of my memoir, Victims Make The Best Birdhouses by Larry L Franklin. The ebook and paperback will be available in a matter of hours. My website can be reached at authorllfranklin.com
Larry L Franklin holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from the University of Illinois and Southern Illinois University. He performed in the U.S. Navy Band located in Washington, D.C. from 1967 to 1971. From 1972 to 1975, he taught music at Southern Illinois University. In 1976, he completed requirements for a certified financial planner designation and maintained a successful investment business until 2007 when he retired to devote his energies to writing. In 2003, he received an MFA in Creative Non-Fiction from Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland.
