As I’m writing this, “Memoirs of a Snowflake” holds the #8 spot in the Kindle Store for the general short story category — #150 overall. Almost 1,000 people have downloaded it since it went free over the weekend, and it’s already garnered some fantastic reviews!

Getting ready for publication
So the edits for Bringing Stella Home came in just a couple days ago, and I’m hoping to finish running through them either today or tomorrow. After that comes formatting, then uploading to the various ebook vendor platforms. I have to admit, even though this is my second full-length ebook, I’m a little terrified.

A word about ebook formatting
So it turns out that ebook formatting is a lot harder than I’d thought. I was hoping to finish chapter 13 in ITND tonight, but I’ve spent the whole #$@! time just trying to get “From the Ice Incarnate” up on Amazon. Fortunately, I think I have a much better idea of what I’m doing… Continue reading A word about ebook formatting
