Talk about the pitfalls and pluses of self-publishing, along with what to do when your book is “out there”.

Eric Douglas is a writer, author and photographer. He received a degree in Journalism from Marshall University. After working in West Virginia newspapers and following a stint as a freelance journalist in the former Soviet Union, he became a dive instructor. The ocean and diving have factored into all of his published works since then.
Eric has published four novels, two children’s books and a series of short stories. He is also a columnist for Scuba Diving Magazine. In 2012, he self-published a short story, a children’s book and his latest novel through Amazon Kindle and CreateSpace. Visit his website at: www.booksbyeric.com
