    About this ebook

    A newspaper article about digital self publishing really got my attention. So I thought why not. Let's try this. But I had no idea that ebooks needed special formatting so they would appear the same in different ebook readers. That was a steep learning curve. To know more I had to publish a book. Thank God there were good books out there with step by step instructions. This exercise turned out to be quite fun to do. Maybe I'll do another book. Later. Or sooner.

    Vincent was a sailor on foreign-going cargo ships. Loved the rock and roll of the ships while crossing the oceans of the world. Was actually running away from God. If it's possible. After three years God won and I returned to Him in 1988. Got cleaned up. Found a great wife, Panni in 1991. Together we share the same passion to see people live their life to the max.
