College. Acceptance into the noted Iowa Writer's Workshop confirmed my grand entrance into the hall of famed writers and by the time I was 30 I would be hailed by the press. Middle years. I published here and there--mostly nowhere--until I ended up in science by some cosmic accident, published two books, numerous articles and too many book chapters. Old guy. Now that I'm finally mature enough to write something of inestimable value, I am self-publishing. After all, in my experience with publishing companies, you end up doing the marketing yourself.
