Okay, it's only a short story with a few pages; and please do not buy the paperback version because you will feel cheated, but it is my first born. There were no bells or whistles when I pressed the publish now button ( I really think KDP are missing a trick there), and it has been changed and tweaked so many times since that first click.
The writing of the book seems so much less stressful than the publishing and promotion of the same. It never occurred to me that it would be such hard and intensive work. Just finding out what is best to do is a minefield; there is so much advice out there and most of it contradicts each other. In the end you just do what you can and what you think is best for your book.
At the time of writing this first blog I am in New Orleans. I started the book in Oregon, so it has travelled thousands of miles with me. from the west coast to the east coast, down to Florida and now round the Gulf. I will probably be in Nashville when Touching Ed is published. That was started in Flagstaff, although notes were written in South Africa; does that mean its an international book?
