As a one-time eBay obsessor, I've been using PayPal for quite a long time. However, that usage has seemingly increased as of late — even in the face of competition from Apple, Venmo, Square Cash, and others. While I can't quite explain what's been leading me to click that PayPal button...
As I recently announced, I've finally gotten around to putting everything I've learned about writing and publishing your own book into one place: a new ebook titled Write, Print, Publish, Promote.
