Three novels with the fourth one on the way.  Sounds almost like having babies.  Now retired, and having traveled quite a bit. Barry Sanders chose to start turning some of those stories which have been bumping around in his head into novels.
The pen name of "B.G. Preston" was launched -- so as to not compete with all of those folks looking for info on the football legend... Barry Sanders. (Hey... I'm older, it was my name first!)  But.... that aside...

The process has been fun, and it has been quite a learning curve. Every aspect of crafting these works and then finding how to get them published and marketed has been quite a challenge. I'm not sure if I worked quite this hard back when I was getting paid to do it.

Feedback to date has been wonderful and encouraging. 

It will be fun to see where this publishing gig takes me.
