\"\"Here\u2019s something I don\u2019t do very often–if ever in this blog: talk\u00a0 about some of my other books. I have 89 in all. Yes, eighty-nine published books. Some of you know that I started my writing career in the early 1970s, writing articles for magazines\u2014all sorts of articles for many varieties of magazines\u2014back when print magazines were popular. I\u2019ve been writing and publishing books since 1978.\u00a0 Some of them were published by traditional publishers, many of them were published through my own publishing company, Matilija Press, and some were commissioned books that I wrote for individuals and businesses.<\/p>\n

What are some of my other books? I\u2019ve written several \"\"books on the business aspect of writing–publishing, book promotion, writing a book proposal. And for a good many years I traveled all over the US speaking at writers groups and writers conferences on publishing and book promotion.<\/p>\n

\"\"I also have books on some unusual and interesting topics\u2014Hints for the Backyard Rider<\/em><\/strong> was my first book. Then I spent five years researching and writing a 300+ page comprehensive history of the Ojai Valley and it’s pioneers–The Ojai Valley, An Illustrated History. <\/em><\/strong>I revised and republished this book in 1999. In recent years, the Ojai Valley Museum took it over and published it. I also wrote two books featuring the burials in the Nordhoff Cemetery. Yeah, unusual, huh? And I wrote Catscapades, True Cat Tales.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

But one of the books I thought some of you might be interested in, especially in this time\"\" of isolation is, Creative Grandparenting Across the Miles<\/em><\/strong>. This could make a great gift or read for those grandparents who are unable right now to travel and visit their grandchildren. Another interesting book I wrote is The Mainland Luau, How to Capture the Flavor of Hawaiian in Your Own Backyard<\/em><\/strong>. This book, which features several methods of roasting a whole pig has sold quite well in gifts shops in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

I have a useful book on youth mentoring and I even wrote and published a book on my experiences while working with a hypnotist. That book is Quest for Truth, a Journey of the Soul.<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0If you\u2019re interested in any of these books, some of them are for sale on Amazon\u2014under Patricia L. Fry. Or email me and I\u2019ll arrange to send you an autographed copy. PLFry620@yahoo.com<\/p>\n
