The 'Sound of Freedom' is a movie everyone should watch. The African slave trade shipped 12 million individuals across the Atlantic. In 2023, human trafficking affects over 40 million people globally, about 1/3 children.

I thought that this clip from Carl Sagan's hugely popular 'Cosmos' series would interest people.

Carl Sagan inspired many people in different spheres: he was an astrophysicist, a searcher for alien intelligence (he helped found SETI), and obviously a lover of books.

I love this: ''Books break the shackles of time’’ says Carl Sagan. ‘’The trick’’, he says, ‘’is knowing which books to read’’.

Here I go again😆. An old, white male having a go at a virtue-signalling, flagwaver🙄. The truth of this is, Ms Gilbert and her publishers have their eye in the money. The Ukraine angle is BS. A book about the Russian psyche written by an Uber-class American was never going to fly. So withdrawing it has at least got her other work some publicity.

Seriously? Forced to pull back because of social media? WTF!

Hell will freeze over before I shut my mouth in topics I'm writing about. That's the difference between someone who writes for money, and someone with something to say.

Test case to see if this post gets traction here:

A Medium article, about writing and publishing books. Mainstream, includes video and text content. Easy to read, non- controversial. Yes, it promotes my efforts in the literary space; mea culpa, sorry if some "don't roll' with that. But my YouTube channel has serious and I hope useful content.

Oh, and as advised, I follow (almost) everyone AND use #

Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈

Here's my tribute to Alan Turing, an iconic figure in the LGBTQ+ community, a war hero, a math genius, and the "father of AI".

What better time than now to celebrate the whole man.

Monday, Monday, "can't trust that day... "😗

Fighting off the "Black Dog" of facing yet another week of 🐂💩💩 from many sides.

But the truth is, it's like weightlifting: the heavier the weight, the stronger you get.🏋️‍♂️

So bring it on, A-holes, THE HEAVIER THE BETTER💪

I REALLY appreciate the helpful advice everyone has given me about getting my stuff out on Mastodon. Thanks🙏

The style and approach here is pretty different from other platforms.

I'll try and figure it out. Meantime, thanks again.

Hey followers,

I get ZERO hits on my posts.

Writing about books, speaking about books, actually WRITING and PUBLISHING. Two books in print, and another on the way.

On a Medium instance. Where writing and publishing is the entire point, and I have a decent Medium page with substantial content.

I must have a unique talent to fail.to get even even one hit on Mastodon🤣

Help me out, guys. If what I write is crap, please criticise.

Size DOES matter!

No, NOT that! 😁 This is my latest video, discussing the physical size of books and why that's worth considering.

As a reader, you want a book that's easy to read.

As a writer, size affects the cost of printing your book but also how it gets marketed.

I hope you enjoy the episode. Please give it a 👍 and subscribe (FREE) to my YouTube channel, Quartermaine's Books.

We all get influenced. By our close family, friends, by this social media, art, movies, people in pubs ... and books. All these influences gel in the creative process which every one of us is capable of.

In my latest YouTube episode for Quartermaine' Books I reflect on a couple of the books that influenced me.

Thanks to everyone who follows me. I have followed back as carefully as I can; if I've missed you, then please let me know.

I'm very active on other platforms, LinkedIn (geopolitics and business) and Twitter (blowing off steam).

Medium on Mastodon is for books and writing. No politics from me here. And, of course, my Medium page has lots of writing stuff, as does my YouTube channel:

Check out my new YouTube channel. Writing about writing - and the challenges of what you have to do once you've written.

Key takeaway? If you want to be a writer, THEN WRITE!

This channel (weekly episodes) will pass on some of the challenges that I've learned to deal with both as a professional (paid) writer of lengthy consulting reports and now as a published author of fiction.

Here's the latest episode of my YouTube channel on book, writing, design, publishing.

"Don't judge a book by its cover" the saying goes. But readers will be attracted by the cover, and the cover will sell your writing.
