Re: Author's Check-in #11
So, Pride & Pancakes neé Snowbound just got accepted! Woo! Time to think of a serious blurb instead of my placeholder one.

I hope it's not too syrupy. Haha. So what happens now? Where and when will it appear?

Re: Author's Check-in #11
I have to come up with some blurbs and fill out a questionnaire to start the process. I doubt anything will be seen until next year.

So, my short story collection 'Catching Light' is now up on Amazon. A few sales so far and I haven't started promoting yet. I've put a link in the Buy Our Books, and a blurb elsewhere. It's been a steep climb to get here, but interesting.

^Congratulations!
Re: Author's Check-in #11
Bought. Kindle is way cheaper than paperback, is that intentional? I'd have happily paid more!

Working on my blurb and dear god is it hair pulling to try and shape 25 words that are both eye-catching, sum up the story, and fit the brand.

^^ All that's not so bad, but forming them into complete sentences is a killer.
Congratulations again (I saw the other thread first). I hope you achieve great success and Hollywood options.
I tried to get both, but they gave me the Kindle free for buying the paperback.
Like resurrections, I hope.Up at c25 in first read-through of Hyperlight 10 now. Mostly minor changes.
Re: Author's Check-in #11
That's the way Amazon priced it, I get the same royalty from each.
Thanks for buying!

Re: Author's Check-in #11
I'll be buying a copy when I get more money in Amazon.
Re: Author's Check-in #11
Would it be this one? (I found several books by that title but this one is the most recently released one).
I love reading my fellow poster's books - it's a chance to get to know far-away friends on a more personal level when travelling is too expensive. I'd love to write something myself but I hardly have time and energy for cooking. Maybe in 11 years and 364 days when I get pensioned off
