Another Avenue

The link to Darkness Within isn't active right now. Here's why:

I originally went directly through Amazon.com to upload it and that was a great experience, but then I tried to find out about the other e-readers: iBooks, Nook, Sony and they all have to be formatted differently and I have to download software to convert my .doc to ePub and to be honest, I'd rather be writing!

So, my friend Gwyn told me about Bookbaby.com and for a fee, they will put your e-book on all four sites. They also offer other stuff–like cover design–but I didn't delve into it too deeply. I just want my books available to the widest range of e-readers as possible. So I joined up and put Darkness Within on there and it should be available within a week or so.

The unfortunate part is that I'll have to sell a lot of books to make up the fee–a LOT.

Well, look, it's all experimental right now as the Husband and I try and find the best avenue to independent wealth. At least, until Stephen King finds me and starts endorsing my books.

Come ON Stephen!!

I hope the best for you with your publishing! I have looked at bookbaby.com as well, as a writer looking at all of the publishing options, self publishing looks the most appetizing to me because there is an opportunity there, and I wish you the best of luck with your endeavor! I can't wait to see where this goes for you, nowhere but up right?!
