My sci-fi trilogy is now for sale at Amazon/Kindle. That was possible only now because Amazon does not sell books at a price of zero, so I couldn’t upload it to them while the 1st book (‘Eeks’) was free.
I’ve changed the covers too. Now they’re more like standard sci-fi book covers, in accordance with the advice from Smashwords: “Your cover is a promise to the reader.” There’s a language of book covers that we all subconsciously know. An unknown author struggling to be seen cannot afford to be too original.
You can see the new covers on the ‘Books – The Eeks Trilogy’ page of this blog.
Writing the books was taxing but fun. Following the white rabbit (symbolising Fame and Fortune?) into the world of self-e-publishing has been a bizarre experience. To get through the door Alice had to drink the potion that made her smaller. So did I. I drank the potion and found myself in a world teeming with best-sellers, block-busters and authors that people had heard of. I was and remain a pygmy. My poor little books jostle with 24 million others at Amazon alone, each one jumping up and down, waving it’s virtual hands in the air and shouting, “Me! Me! Click on me!”
Then I discovered that writing the books and publishing the books were the easy bits. Publicising the books – that’s the hard bit. Watch this space for updates about my experiences down the rabbit hole.
