I’ve actually written fourteen. But those are the most recent ones and I put them on Amazon because getting published the traditional way as a newbie is almost impossible today. Publishers have sold the names of long-established and now dead authors to new writers because those names sell. Some of these dead authors now have more books in print than they originally authored while alive. The reason I gave up was I’d get agent responses saying things like, “The main character needs to be black and/or gay.” Sorry. Not gonna play. I just listened to an audio book on YouTube, and for no apparent plot reason the two main characters where a newly married male couple on their honeymoon. I only continued listening to see if there was some plot driven reason for them to be gay. There wasn’t.
