It's Tuesday

Today's top ten is about changes over the last ten years. Artsy Reader Girl wrote about the changes she's had in blogging. I'm taking the last ten years and how my writing has progressed.

I retired from teaching in 2010 after 27 years. 
I wrote Optimus: Praetorian Guard while teaching. It took me ten years. It was published in 2006.
Since I've retired I discovered the joy of publishing e-books. First on Smashwords, then when I could never get my cover to be acceptable I switched to Amazon's KDP. My books sell for 99 cents or if you're on Unlimited you rent them for free.
These are the books I've published since 2011 all are e-books: 

 Optimus: Praetorian Guard. Updated and revised in e-book. Optimus is a hard drinking, hard living Roman soldier assigned to guard the Apostle Paul while he is awaiting trial before Nero. He is converted to the way and tries to work within the Praetorian Guard to get a Christian emperor on the Eagle Throne.

Human Sacrifices: Jan is recently graduated from college, leaving an abusive husband and trying to make a new life for herself as a teacher. She starts seeing a face in two trees outside her bedroom window that haunts her while trying to overcome her problems.

Vander's Magic Carpet: Originally written for a book contest in 1995. I resurrected it and updated the time period.

His daughter is traumatized and everything he has worked for all his life vanishes when the police freeze his assets and he get convicted and sentence to prison.
While in prison he plots his revenge against those who destroyed his life by developing silicone plates capable of flying. These flying plates are capable of making cars fly like their on a magic carpet. Once out of prison he starts developing flying cars, but has a problem in getting the government allowing him to sell his product after the fall of the Twin Towers in 2001. He finds a way to make flying cars and get revenge on those who destroyed his life.

Fan Plan Trilogy: Three books: Meteor Strike, Preparation, Countdown.
In 1965 a meteor strikes Yellowstone caldera causing an earthquake and tidal wave in Yellowstone Lake. At Trans World Oil's geology department their computer predicts that the volcano will erupt within 50 to 100 years.

Meteor Strike recounts the story of how Trans World Oil was founded in the 1920's and became one of the larges oil companies in the world by 1965. It goes on how the company begins making plans for not only saving a few special people, but civilization as a whole.
