Ed Augusts

Here are some of my paperback writings from a decade or two ago! I painted some of the cover art. lulu.com/spotlight/edau…

Faces & creatures keep popping up! I'm not sure WHY! But it's as if all I've done with the occult over a whole lifetime has put me on the edge of the occult world showing itself to me, overlapping my daily reality.

A popular & very important #book which I devoured gleefully, as a pre-teen, when it first came out!

Little known American-German pairing involving the last Kaiser. On the list at Ed Augusts Books.

Just south of Carmel, about 1960. "How time flies!" The rocks were covered with squirrels!

@TheNomadicKing One may be able to converse intelligently with a ghost, but no such luck with cockroaches! Living in S.F., I never had the roach problem for long! I swooped in & sent them back to their ancestors! But the ghosts may actually have BEEN ancestors. Respect was called for.

Would you rather be haunted by a ghost or have cockroaches?

I have a signed Dorothy Parker, the bio of her father. I posted it a week or two ago....

Here's another one -- a female ghost! I kept her for about a year.

Scrips & scraps -- and this pops out! No idea who or what this is. It happens a lot around here... As if pix from imagination, or phantoms, come to life!

Odd how FACES seem to pop-up from unrelated clusters of fabric, etc!

Imagine a public (Oakland) library DISCARDING a book like this! Well, they did, back in 1910!

@topfive You left out the most important part. Without it, your comment is useless!

@danwastro I don't know how the "Ascended Masters" coming to prominence ould be linked to your painful symptoms! Why would they want to get people's attention through pain?

@DKemeridou I completely agree with you! Persistence helps tremendously, as does scattering views of your products & talents far & wide! Sometimes fortune takes a while to strike... or evolve! I've been self-publishing my entire adult life, & awareness of my existence has slowly spread!

"First books don't sell." "Self-published books don't sell" "You'll never make it as a self-published author." Sound familiar? People like to talk and bring you down, but the truth is, first books sell, self-published books sell, and you can make it! Five years after publishing my first book (with absolutely no marketing strategy because I had no idea), it has now sold 480 copies, has 90 rating on Amazon, and is still selling (7 copies sold last month). I still haven't made it to 1k copies sold, but I'm aaaaalmost there. I have now 835 total books sold. I'd love to make it to 1k this year, but I know it's impossible, so it will be my big goal for 2024. Self-publishing is hard. Even I feel discouraged at times. Everyone does, and it's completely normal. Whatever you do, don't give up. Sales will come, reviews will come. Keep on promoting those books.

Every time I turn on my android device, I suffer a 2-minute delay while this plays. Whatta bunch of crap! There's no way to avoid it or turn it off! Anyone know WHY this came about?

@MWinshire @DKemeridou Sorry, but the book site is AWFUL! It wraps, it locks, it traps! That's the reason you're not getting any views! Ugh!

@DKemeridou OH, Despoina, you make this Despoirado (!) have hope! I was so sad because nobody even reads my FREE first 100 pages of the book it took me a year to write about the true story of my life but dramatised here: maxwellwinshire.com/the-knock

@ewinterwriter 2/2. I went thru a phase where I put a lot of my #paperbacks up on Lulu.com. This was approx. 10 to 20 years ago. 17 or 18 books. They're still there, under Ed Augusts Books (or: edaugusts). I wrote before them, & after them!

@ewinterwriter 1/2. Age can sometimes be a surprising advantage! I've been writing stories, articles & bits & pieces of novels for DECADES... until now, I have a whole body of work, which I began self-publishing 20-odd years ago. If I push hard enough, I might get discovered!

If you are a writer and also work a full-time day job, when do you find the time to write? Where do you find the energy?

@EricAndersonV B0TH, please!

@6thsensemoment My GF had a terrible time late this afternoon, driving around on some errands here in Tucson. Jam-ups, accidents, cops & other slow-downs. An HOUR of delays. All she wanted to do when she got home was lay down! Never seen her so wiped-out! Maybe it was the solar flare.

Solar flare incoming if you suddenly feel sick, exhausted dizzy this is the cause.stay hydrated and rest until your body readjusts to the new EMF solar winds energy.
