I am a retired marine biologist, marine aquaculture, author and self-publisher. I now live in the Florida Keys. It’s been a busy life, and I’m still going strong. I enjoy writing, I’ve authored books and many articles and scientific papers, most back when the technology that produced the written word was based on typewriters and Eraserace typing paper, although I did advance to computers in the early 80s.I am very interested in all aspects of science, but primarily marine science. Publishing in the past almost always depended mostly on what someone else (they call them editors) thought of the craft and, most importantly, the commercial value of your work. Now these are important and will always remain important. But I think the internet and ebooks are taking publishing from the paradigm established by Guttenberg into the age where every thinking individual can find a voice that will reach around the world, and that voice will ultimately be limited only by the consensus of public opinion. In other words,one can now paraphrase the old adage “The only dumb question is the one that is not asked” into “The only inconsequential book is the one not published”. So I am in the process of revising many of my books and writing some new ones and publishing them as ebooks. It is a daunting task but an exciting one.
