Some of you know – perhaps more than I’d imagine, that I am a writer. I have been one since 1977 when I had my first short story published in “The Highway Bookshop Press” a small 36 pages newsletter way up north in Cobalt, Ontario. Made me smile. Saw my name in print. Made me not a single penny, but that didn’t matter…I was PUBLISHED!!!

Move ahead almost 40 years and I’m still a writer and yes you can buy my works over on Amazon but this column is not about the fact that I’m a writer – it’s about the fact that reccently major writing unions and groups have done studies that show that – yes, writers are losing income. And that’s a scary thing to me as a writer – and conversly, it should also be scarier to you the consumer of what writers write.
