Dear Fellow Writer,
When I first started writing
my book The Orphan Boy, A Love Affair with Mining, my
thoughts went back to one September day in 1974.
One
September afternoon I sat on the dump of a small mine in Colorado
with a unique man, my dad, Herbert T. Young. Even at 12,000 feet,
the sun was bright and warm, and the sky was so very blue. Below,
the aspen leaves were just starting to turn gold, and there was a
hint of fall in the air.
We
had talked on the way up the rocky, steep road about the mines and
the history of the area, as we often did. I never got tired of the
many stories Dad told about his experiences and information he
gathered in researching the mining district.
Arriving at the Orphan Boy mine, we sat down and had a cup of coffee
from Dad’s ever present thermos. Even though I had previously heard
many of his stories about this mine that started his love affair
with mining, they seemed much more real as I sat with him in that
remote and peaceful basin.
My
eyes were drawn to the rugged splendor of the high peaks; Brittle
Silver Mountain, Grizzly Peak, Revenue Mountain... Along the
horizon were Gray’s and Torrey’s, two of Colorado’s fourteeners. The
air was so clean I felt like I could almost reach out and touch the
peaks across the Warden Gulch basin. Morgan Peak, behind me, and
Santa Fe Peak to the south looked so close it seemed like I could
hike to them in just a few minutes.
Everywhere I looked were evidences of the
mining and prospecting that went on in a different time. I noticed
the reddish brown and yellow gossans that streaked the mountain
slopes in several places. All the while, this remote valley was very
quiet, almost as if our thoughts themselves interrupted the
solitude. This scene stirred something in my soul that words cannot
begin to explain.
I
thought of Dad and the many experiences he related to me. I noticed
he was also scanning the mountains, deep in thought. He turned and
smiled at me, with his brown eyes shining. I knew we were thinking,
feeling and experiencing the same closeness to God in that moment.
The
feeling of kinship I experienced while sitting on that mine dump
were similar to the feelings I had during the times Dad and I worked
underground together. Working underground brings a special sense of
closeness where everyone looks after one another. Even with 30 years
difference in our ages, we were kindred souls.
I
worked with Dad during the summers and after college graduation
until his death and had the fortune to experience firsthand why his
generation was named the “greatest generation.”
He
was typical of the World War II generation whose lives were
interrupted by that war. When they came back home, they changed both
America and the world in a special way.
In fact, one of the most
frequent questions that I get about the Orphan Boy in not about the
mining or geology, but:
“Why did you write your book?”
While, as an author, I
originally thought this was an odd question, my readers really
wanted to know how I successfully succeeded in connecting three
generations together. The style of writing resonated with them. They
loved the stories and depth of feeling, as well as the geology,
history and mining.
While I wrote the Orphan Boy for two people, my
son William and my daughter Laura, I have touched many lives
according to comments from my readers.
"Thank
you for the book Court. We enjoyed reading it very much. It brought back
many very good memories and also a few tears. Those were good times and
very pleasant memories. Think you did a very good job of bringing the
past into the present.”
Bob & Nancy
Hocking, Olney, IL 5-20-2007
“This is
a very, very good story; written and from the author’s own family
experiences. It is also from the heart. A truly good read.”
William James Dunn,
Mining Engineer, Denver, CO 12-12-06
“A great
tribute to Court’s Dad and to Colorado mining history. An interesting
read and remembrance of our mining roots.”
Richard
Kunter, Consulting Metallurgical Engineer, Mining & Metallurgical
Society of America
One of the best feelings in
the world is impacting lives while enriching yourself and others
with your special knowledge, experience and stories, especially
through writing.
To help you use your
experience and knowledge to impact the lives of others, I have
introduced a new informational eBook entitled The Art of
Writing an eBook, How to Use Your Experience and Knowledge to Enrich
Yourself & Others.
In developing my eBook,
The Art of Writing an eBook, How to
Use Your Experience and Knowledge to Enrich Yourself & Others,
I thought back to the process of writing The Orphan Boy. My goal was
to develop a one-of-a-kind resource that would help and guide the reader
through the same kind of process I went through while writing Orphan Boy.
I wanted to show my readers how to use their unique experience and
knowledge so they could have the same life changing impact that Orphan Boy has on its
readers.
A Unique Business Opportunity
Remember, eBooks are one
of the best selling products on the internet. They reach a worldwide
market. Many of the top
internet "gurus", like Yanik Silver, promote writing ebooks
enthusiastically as a way of making money in the current global
economy. According the the International Digital Publishing
Forum:
"Publishers reported 1,692,964 eBook
units sold and $11,875,783 in revenues for 2005. They also
reported 5,242 eBooks published during this time."
EBook publishing increased by 20% between 2004 and
2005 and continues to trend upward each year.
Literally thousands of books and ebooks are selling daily around the
world from the internet. This clearly is an
exciting new business made possible by the global computer
revolution.

While many of the top
internet marketing gurus tout writing and selling ebooks as a way to
financial freedom, they don’t tell you, except in general terms,
what to write about.
You know that you have unique knowledge and experience, gained over
a lifetime, that would benefit others.
Immediately, when you think of writing an eBook, questions like the
following race through your mind:
How do you answer these questions? You know your experience and
knowledge is unique but what do you do next?
