Dusty Books is not about dusty books . . . or at times it can be if we are talking about a book that has been on the shelf gathering dust for some time. You could say it is about books we have read which now gather dust, or it is about some of us with more years behind us than ahead, who are maybe just sitting around with a lifetime of stories within us gathering our own dust. Dusty Books is the news platform for Desert Bookshelf Publishing, a small business owned and operated by the writer of this blog, James Paddock . . . author, novelist, entrepreneur, husband, father and grandfather of many beautiful and intelligent children. I’d mention how many but every time I turn around there seems to be another one.

A retired (very recently) graphic designer, my passion is writing novels, recently finishing number 7. I will be introducing them in future blogs. Meanwhile, check out my online newspaper, James Paddock Writing Daily. A new issue hits the digital press about 1:00 PM every day. I can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.

Keep reading, keep writing, keep having fun.
