Renspubhouse.com offers quality ebooks and other resources for business and pleasure.

Gudbudie's Mystery and Sci-Fi Journal is the brainchild of Michael J Rener of Renspubhouse.com.

In this publication we hope to give aspiring writers a chance to be published and expose their talent to the world. There are so many stories out there wanting to be read, yet so few opportunities for them to be available for public viewing. That is the reason for the monthly contests, to get the best available and give these writers a chance to be seen and their voices heard.

I have worked in Marketing, Sales and technology for all my adult life. I was always the one "chosen" to rewrite SOP's, memos and manuals (even during my stint as a Military Officer). I have always written short stories and journals, but threw them away at first as there was no real vehicle available to have them published, or at least early in my life I was unaware of any.

I got started seriously writing "Fan Fiction" and honed my skills that way. Of course the trouble with "fan Fiction" is that you can't publish the stories seriously, and the only chance of making money if one of the owners of the series sees your work and commissions a story. But this almost never happens (I'm sure it might have but not to my knowledge). So I gave up and started my own writings using what I learned. It is a good place to start as it gives you structure, but don't publish them.

There are many famous authors, including my favorite Mark Twain, who started by self publishing their works, so I am just following in the footsteps of the masters. ;^)

I have published three marketing ebooks and two of them are being evaluated for print by publishers. I have also won a few contests from other stories (they will be available through the Archives page), and continue the writing of my novels, short stories and a somewhat autobiographical book.

I grew up on the South side of Chicago, but presently live in Rochester Minnesota with my darling and supportive wife and our pet Parrot "Bird".

Enjoy the site and the magazine.
