It’s been at least five years since I first registered this domain name, and I’ve had next to nothing up here the whole time. I make a living as a professional blogger, but I’ve never had much interest in maintaining a personal blog. Until now.
After watching the un-speed at which the publishing industry works, I’ve decided to forgo the traditional route and self-publish my first novel as an ebook for the Amazon kindle, iPad, etc. (Actually, it’s my third or fourth novel, but the others weren’t good enough to inflict on people). Patience isn’t one of my virtues, so I’m excited about the idea of getting the story out there quickly, but I’ve a long road ahead. Publishing your novel is one thing; marketing and selling it is another.
Since I do internet marketing for my day job, I’m hoping that experience will serve me well, but selling fiction is a different beast from selling non-fiction and physical products. This blog will be an ongoing discussion on what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to publishing, marketing, and selling e-books.
Just finished “Balanced on the Blade’s Edge”. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope you intend to continue the story line in the future. I have enjoyed all of your stories. Best wishes in the future.
I’ve become such a fan of your blog over the past year, I decided to come here to the beginning and read it start to finish! Have you considered turning your blog into a book? I’d buy the first copy!
Thank you, Leanne. That’s dedication to go way back to the beginning! Every now and then I think about finding an assistant to cull through things and put together some free ebooks, but I’d imagine a lot of the older posts would need to be updated, and that I’d be making some extra work for myself. 😀
