I just got this email from Chris

Hi James, just came across your book by accident and have just finished reading it (while at work!) Great read and now Im signed up to the rss feed on your blog and following you on twitter, (as a fan, NOT a stalker-promise!) I really liked your writing style and as a fellow photographer of beautiful ladies it was great to hear how you have made it all work. We have a very similar attitude to the way we work with and treat with respect the girls we work with.

Bottom line? You come a cross as a thoroughly decent fella. I wish you all the success in the world.

Thanks for the kind words Chris! Always nice to hear someone that enjoyed my book. Read it at work? I knew it was short (86 pages) but I didn’t think it was that short!

I tried your site but the link wasn’t working, possibly a router issue between you and I. Looking forward to checking some of you pix!

Thanks again,

I have already started book two, as a sequel to my book Over Exposed (available on Amazon for any phone, computer, kindle etc) but then I started to wonder if I should hit pause and write fiction instead. I have been told I can write and I love writing so… maybe fiction is a good idea for now.

Book two was going to be a “how to” book more or less.

I get people asking me a lot of questions and while I am not wikipedia in this industry, I have been around 15 years doing the same job. You pick things up here an there. My mindset was if I can save a few people from making some bad choices, or save them some time by pointing them in the right direction, that’s great!

The one thing I wanted to make sure *didn’t* happen with this book, is that others thought this book might be a blueprint for assured success. There is no such thing. That should be common sense, but some people think life has short cuts. If you want success, work is the only thing that gets you there.

Each affiliate has a way of marketing. Some are really, really good and some, not as much but they keep trying. Then there are some that cheat and try and take short cuts. They get their accounts shut down so sure, if I can write about how to be a great affiliate, from a program owner’s perspective, maybe this helps someone. I can’t tell you how to be a kick ass affiliate from an affiliate stand point because I am not one. I have no exp in that arena. I can show you great affiliates, but they have their secrets as to how they do what they do. Even if I knew a few, that’s not my place to say… ya know?

As for as program running, site creation, finding girls or working with models, cam models, girls next door.. this I have knowledge in. Doesn’t mean I am right mind you. I mean, just because I look outside and see the sky is blue, you might look outside and see clouds and think I’m wrong. Possibly we’re both right, I mean… the sky is pretty damn huge, just as this topic is. I can show you what I have done and that would be my goal. Where I made errors, maybe save you some time?

So what’s the problem?

Well, honestly, I just don’t know if I want to write it right now. My heart is not in it at the moment.

I try and live my life by one simple rule when it comes to work.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.

Thanks Dad.

I don’t want to half ass a book just to get it done. I’d rather write a book that is a monster book so when you get stuck on something, I can help you. Rather than me going.. oh, you want to know what script to use to randomly shift your images on your affiliate site so it always looks fresh even if it’s not? Sorry.. can’t help you. I’d rather be able to say.. oh, that’s this script (link) etc. When you have a question about camera lenses and what type of lens would be best to shoot a model in a tight cramped location versus a bedroom setting versus outdoors etc. Blamo – go to the equipment chapter and Bob’s your uncle. How do you meet girls to get practice shooting? (see this chapter) How do you sell your prints to magazines? (see this chapter) How do you avoid the pitfalls of the biz? (see this chapter) etc.

I don’t want to half ass the book, so right now, I think I am going to pause that book and write it here and there, release it when it is the book I want it to be.

So there’s the update on book two since some of you have asked.

Once again, if you did read my first book and have an opinion, please go review it on Amazon!

Thank you!

My first book, Over Exposed, has been out now for a few days and so far, I’ve been blown away with the feedback. I wanted to write the book like a blog, so the person reading would feel I was talking to them. From what people are telling me, I guess it’s worked! Here are a few reviews from Amazon.com so far.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! If you yourself wanted to buy the book but you don’t own a Kindle, you don’t actually need a Kindle to read the book. You can grab the free software for your computer or app for your mobile phone or tablet if you wish.

Thanks again for the feedback people! If you buy the book, please take a few seconds to review it.

I’ve already started my next book

My first book can be purchased here.

So yesterday, @Bryci started reading my book for me. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention… it’s done.

Wheeeee

Anyway, she started to read my book for me. I asked her to give it a test spin so she could pick it apart. Point out the typos, the grammatical errors etc. I’m quite the moron when it comes to grammar. Well, maybe not a moron, but I’m lazy, I never did like Mrs. Cross in English class. I know the rules, I just often ignore them which is, well, stupid.

Bryci on the other hand, is brilliant. Thus, she’s going through the book, chapter by chapter, word by word. Showing me what needs to be changed, deleted, re-worded etc. Yes, she is invaluable. Smart, funny, beautiful and also the best damn English tutor I ever had.

Also the only English tutor I ever had, but that’s not the point.

So, starting Monday, I get to plotting book two and three. I need to plot them back to back so I don’t overlap anywhere. I am hoping to have those done this month.

Book one is not for sale yet on Amazon.com but it will be when the other two books are also completed, proofed, ready for prime time. Want a sneak peak at the first book’s cover? It’s simple but it does it’s job.

Again, not on sale yet, but it is completed.

It finished out at 25, 991 words. 85 pages. Not sure that this is good or bad, but for my first book, I’m okay with it. Hell, who am I kidding? I’m proud of what I’ve written!
