@Sardonyx#1, dang we have ourselves an author. That second book was tough to put down.

Thanks Robin. I was thinking of doing a bit of a re-write on the first one then combining the two into one. What do you think?

I really don't know. It might make it too long for some. I don't do series that go on forever. Three is about my limit.
I'm hoping you're not one and done. It take imagination to come up with that story line. Something I lack in a large way. There's another that I read, Jacqueline Druga. Her books are not edited anywhere near yours but her stories are so varied in storyline from each other.

I'll check out J. Druga. Yeah, I also hope I'm not one and done. I started writing the last week of July and by the end of October I did 4 (if we count the one I did with my wife). I'm a 2 finger typist so that really slows me down. Fifty thousand words with 2 fingers just takes a while!
I told my wife that you complimented her editing. She said to tell you thanks.

That's not shabby. Ask me how many I've written? 
And if you're not putting out a book a month like so many, I don't think the world will notice. Those monthly authors with never ending series are not everyone's cup of tea. They certainly are not mine.

How does writing on Amazon work? Do they charge fees?

Posting a book can be a little complicated to figure out the first time around. The process is actually not that complicated but the instructions that are provided aren't that clear. Once you decipher the instructions it's pretty simple. There are some rules and regulations that have to be followed but no fees for ebooks, they make their money through a cut of your sales.

Thanks, Sard, for the reply. My husband is looking for a ghost writer. Neither one of us are talented that way. He’s got a movie-worthy story to tell. Do you have any advice?

I had a creative writing teacher in high school high school who bragged on my writing and that was the sum total of my experience. That was also the last time I wrote. I chose what I thought at the time was a more practical path and took all the math and science classes that were offered in high school and college. My post grad work was in medicine.
My point is that I didn't write anything other than brief medical notes for 35+ years. I got bored after retirement and finally decided to write. I had no experience and no classes on the subject. I just sat down and started typing and I've written five books (none are exceptionally long, 40-50 thousand words each) in five months. The stories just seem to write themselves. I don't do anything special so I don't know that I can really advise anyone on how to do it. I'm sure if you ask a dozen writers how to write you'd probably get a dozen different answers. I'd suggest that either you or your husband just sit down and try it. You, or he, may be better than you think.
I'll put some thought into it and if I find a better answer to your question I'll post it. Now, if your question is more along the line of how to find a ghost writer? I don't know but I'll research it and, again, if I find a good answer I'll let you know.

I just turned 64. I googled ghost writers for hire and found several sites for "free lance ghost writers"

I write the stories and my wife proof reads so you two may be able to do a tag-team approach like we do. Also there are dictation programs like "dragon dictation"where you can just talk and the program types it all.
