Way back in July-August of this year, I tried my
hand at writing a romance novel with elements of mystery and suspense thrown
in. The book was written in a little
under thirty days, but in spite that short timeline, the story was the result
of a great deal of thought, effort, and writing. Thus far no publisher has been interested,
however, and therefore I have put together the book for sale on my own. I recently learned how to “style” a document—a
debt of gratitude is owed to the Smashwords Style Guide—and it was much easier
to put together the book after going through this process. For the first time, one of my print novels
looks like the genuine article. I wish I
had known earlier how easy the process truly was. I have already reworked the interior of one
novel, and am considering doing the rest.
It is a simple cut-and-paste job; the most difficult part is redoing the
interiors on CreateSpace. Anyway, for readers
who might be interested, I am including links to the e-book and paperback
versions of Dark Horse at the close of this blog.
