Tuesday Daydreams now on Smashwords!

September 6, 20145 Comments

TDSW At long last (seriously, it’s taken a while), I’ve made Tuesday Daydreams: A Journal in Verse available on Smashwords. You can now read all my silly little poems in a variety of formats!

I don’t know why it took me so long to get around to this – I intended to do it shortly after initial publication two and a half years ago, but I never did. It was pretty simple, for the most part. And now I know what I need to do to get the follow-up volume ready to go!

With the Smashwords edition comes a new cover. I’m not sure I like it yet, but it’ll do for now, I suppose. I’ve added the new cover to the Kindle version as well, but it may not be live till tomorrow. As for the paperback…it’s sticking with the old cover for now.

So! If you’d like to get your hands on a copy, check out Amazon and Smashwords!

Thoughts on self-publishing

April 13, 20126 Comments

I generally try to stay out of the self-pub vs. trad. pub debates because so often, what starts off as reasoned analysis/debate devolves into screeches of, “My way is better than your way!” or “My way is the only right way to do it!” Both ways have their pluses and minuses. For me, I think traditional publishing is the way to go and I hope I’ll be able to succeed in it. However, if it’s not meant to be, I “have lots of friends who will help” me “through the self-publishing process,” according to one Jeremy Rodden, self-publisher extraordinaire. I’ve been assured that I’ll do great and I’m inclined to believe him because he’s done quite well for himself in the self-pub arena, as has our mutual friend, Lisa Wiedmeier. With that in mind…

The e-book version of Tuesday Daydreams is now available for Kindle! You can find it here or by searching for it in the Kindle store. Right now this is as far as I’ll go with the e-book version, but maybe next weekend when I will hopefully have more peace and quiet, I can get it formatted for other e-readers as well. Gretchen, any pointers would be much appreciated! Oh, yeah – I still have to read the Smashwords Style Guide I downloaded. That would probably help. 🙂

Between my excitement over having finally released a title and my fatigue from driving all over two counties today and my frustration with my oldest son, I’m a bit all over the place at the moment. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I see an adult beverage and a scotcheroo with my name on them. Happy weekend!
