Self-Published Book Beats the Odds By Making New York Times Bestseller List | Huffington Post

Sometimes people ask me, "When did you start to write it and how long did it take?" I can see them doing the math in their head. Hmmm, they say, "So you finished it seven years ago? What took you so long to publish it?"

Anyone who has ever written a book, and then published it, will laugh at that question. Non-writers, I think, must confuse the time it takes to write a book with the time it takes to read one. I'm probably the only author on the planet that cringes when a reader says, "I read your book in one night! I couldn't put it down!" Knowing the myriad all-nighters I pulled writing and editing it. And all the sleepless nights that are ahead of me to finish the next book.
