    I also have the Amazon links in my sig. Paperback is up but it'll be a week or so for Kindle. As for being bad at most of the rest, I feel uniquely qualified to discuss career strategies because I'm at best an average musician on a good day. I figure if I could make a living at it, anyone can. :-D

      30 years ago when we were in college, my wife took a film appreciation class. The professor who taught the class had published a book, which my wife bought and really liked. Fast forward to last year. I work with the professor's partner and find out he's come out with a second edition of the book. I buy a copy of the book, give it to the partner and the professor inscribes it to my wife. Best. Christmas. Present. Ever! :-D

          Depends on the girl and the kinds of things she appreciates. He has the most important concept down: Happy wife, happy life! :)

              I have a niece who's in high school and is a singer as well as being interested in video. When I wrote Have Fun, Get Paid, I dedicated it to her (she doesn't know this yet) since it's all the stuff I had to learn the hard way that I wish I had known at her age. Got my author copies in today, so now I get to send her one, which will be a surprise. This is the fun stuff. :-D

                    I'm usually pretty good at circular logic, but that one leaves me dizzy. :)

                      That's okay. Go ahead and buy the shotgun anyway. You can never have too many marksmanship skills.

                            Rifle. Shotguns are sort of a "point-in-the-general-direction" kind of thing as far as marksmanship goes.

                                True :-O. I was just bemused at the notion of marksmanship with a shotgun.

                                  True enough. However, it's somewhat related to my personal definition of marksmanship when it comes to handguns. I'm much more accurate with a 15 round clip than I am with a 10. I mean, sooner or later one of them's bound to hit the target, right? :)
