Discovering Independent Authors:

Bookcast launched in October last year with the aim of supporting independent authors. The timing is good. As electronic book readers become more popular, the possibility for writing and selling a book minus an publisher and printing deal becomes easier and easier. The problem as always though will be discover. You need people to know about your work, and Bookcast with its news, reviews and ability to buy the book from the review is precisely the kind of place readers need to visit to know what is going on

I just want to take a moment to wish everyone the compliments of the Season.

So

 

 

Merry Christmas

and a

Happy New Year

 

I’ll be back with more photos and more talk about things shortly

I started Findingviews some years ago as an experiment in producing a linking website that took me to my various web presences and things I was interested in. It spawned a web gallery of digital art work and hosted a number of other websites. In time in turned into a blog. Eventually it died way as other projects took over. Most notable amongst these has been Alpha Technical Solutions , Shared Creation, and Original Robart.

Findingviews is now back, in its 2nd blog incarnation. I’m going to take a few minutes to say why and what to expect.

Shared Creation is evolving into a useful and fun magazine, its surfing the wave of social media and growing nicely. Alpha Technical Solutions is also doing well as a business and is working well. Original Robart is gaining assignments.

So why if things are good do I need to bring back Findingviews? The reason is artistic freedom. Alpha Technical and Orignal Robart are businesses and Shared Creation has an editorial point of view. Personally I’m doing more with photography and digital art. This is good for my company and good for Shared Creation, but it also leads to a lot of thoughts that perhaps deserve being written about or that may be interesting but which do not fit into the framework of either Alpha Tech or Shared Creation. This means I need a venue for publication and that is Findingviews.com.

You can expect Findingviews to have links to new artwork, thoughts in tech and movies, random thoughts and meanderings. In other words this is a personal blog. Its personal publishing. Sure it supports my art, but that is personal. Seeing as this is personal you’ll find more thought and less fact here. Alpha Technical has facts – especially about Microsoft Training, Shared Creation has facts about digital creation and Original Robart has the facts about my professional photography. Findingviews is an opinion repository, a place for debate, to question and to have fun.

Findingview is a the weekend house of a serial creative, and I’m hoping it will build into something a little bit special.
