I'll share one that I have a short story in, and all proceeds from the book go to help cancer research.
http://www.amazon.com/Festive-Feast-S... It is just $1.50 for the ebook right now and there will be another short story collection coming out before Valentine's

I have a YA Fantasy out in all formats, titled Ocean of Dust.

Love the cover! I tweeted it out to my followers.

Good luck with the book, Jo :) Keep at it, girl.
I write middle grade fantasy.

I have to confess, my wonderful friends did all my formatting for me, so I don't know too much about it myself. I would love to learn.

Here's my first book done:
eBook ~ Say Bump and Take a Left http://www.amazon.com/Left-Birthed-Bu...
POD ~ Say Bump and Take a Left http://www.amazon.com/Say-Bump-Take-L...
Here's to Self Publishing!Mary Kathryn Johnson

I've written two ebooks. One is a collection of three stories, which I also published as a POD version. The other is an e-single since it's just one story. Here are links to them:
The Melanie Chronicles ebook: http://www.ebookit.com/books/00000015...
POD: http://www.amazon.com/The-Melanie-Chr...
Kindle-only "Linger: a short story": http://www.amazon.com/Linger-a-short-...
As I don't yet have my own book to share, I thought I would share my late Grandfather's book instead... he wrote it in 1995 and it's about his time as a prisoner of war in WWII.


I did all of the formatting and cover design myself and I would be happy to share that experience with this group, as well as learn from the experiences of others.
The Heretic
The Pope's Conspiracy
A Good Conviction
Case Closed

Keller on the Spot http://www.amazon.com/Keller-on-the-S...
Two of my own:
Dark Reflections http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Reflection...
Light Embraced http://www.amazon.com/Light-Embraced-...

For the ebook formatting, I used the Kindle plugin for InDesign 5.0 and FINALLY got it to work the way I wanted it to. Drop caps were tricky.
You can "look inside" the ebooks I formatted here and let me know what you think, not about the writing, but about the formatting:
DEATH OF A SERPENT: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006V3XOKI
DEATH IN BAGHERIA: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AKDVICQ
I have a third book but the ebook was formatted by a professional formatter. It's here, if you want to compare formatting (I don't know what tools he used):
NO MORE BROTHERS: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ZRUX58

Vantastic France


I formatted it with mobipocket and would love feedback.
It is currently only available on Amazon (including KDP select)and has a sample download available.
As I have never formatted a book before, any remarks on faults in the formatting is very welcome.

1. True Ghost Stories 1-4
2. Celebrity Hauntings
3. Horror Stories
