Publishing Day has come and gone. Now the challenging part starts. Expanding my empire. The last of my stories will be coming off of KDP select and disseminated across the interwebs. I’ll be everywhere soon. All this will be happening as I format the omnibus edition. For an added challenge, I’ve decided to release through […]
It’s here! It’s here! The seventh and final story in the Uncommon Animals series. Mina and Matty finally found the home they always wanted. They’ve settled into a routine of normalcy, working by day, hunting demons at night. But their lives are about to get complicated. The Tribes want them back, and they aren’t […]
The husband and I were discussing our plans for the day. I mentioned that I needed to do one last proofreading run before the 1st, for my own piece of mind. “I can’t wait until I can afford editors and artists. Proofreading and creating covers is the stressful part of self-publishing.” He laughed. “I’d think […]
I am not a graphic artist. I’m at best a passionate amatuer… emphasis on amatuer. I have however made my own covers. I’ve had fun with it, but the day I can turn it over to a pro, I will. In the meantime, I do my best. Since the city of Pittsburgh is such a […]
AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Go here, and get free stories! Or here! Or here! You can get the first six Uncommon Animals stories for free this week. The grand finale, Hunter’s Moon will be released this Sunday for $0.99 on Amazon. But before you snag that, you can (and should!), get caught up on the first six stories… […]
This weekend was devoted to me figuring out if I had story. Everybody agrees that the secret to making a living self publishing is volume. This means that I constantly need to be writing. I know how the story ends. I figured that out when I decided to write more Pittsburgh stories. I rarely start […]
Yesterday was one of those days where I found myself unable to do much of anything. I flitted from project to project never really finishing most of them. I did rework the beginning of Sheepsquatch, and I started my cover for the omnibus edition of Uncommon Animals. I played with the basic cover template for […]
So last night, my newest proofreader finished Hunter’s Moon. All that’s left to do is read it out loud to the husband. Yes, I even wrote the blurb! The end is in sight. Yes, I need to make the cover for the anthology, but I picked an easy one. And there’s minimal formatting and NO […]
Publishing Day is looming. I’ve proofread four out the six previously published stories. My cover is done. My blurb is not written (I hate them). My finale is mostly proofread. My promo is prepped. I’m feeling a touch overwhelmed, I admit. But part of that is the end of the school year too. Picnics, field […]
I got everything done. Got my stories edited and up on Smashwords. Messed with all the margins and page breaks until it fit their criteria. And now it’s back to work. I need to get the second series cleaned up. The more I get done now, the easier the publishing run. I worked on my […]
