I’ve just finished the second round of editing for my first release: The Iron Dead.  I expect to publish it a few days… possibly even tomorrow.

What IS the Iron Dead?

It’s the collected serial story that some of the old fans may remember as “In Deed”.   I like the new name much better.      It’ll be hitting the Amazon Kindle store very soon, priced at 99 cents for the first few days.    I haven’t decided on the final price yet, but I’m leaning toward $2.99.

The only items remaining on my to-do list are to finish the cover, write a description and some author’s notes, and come up with an author’s bio.  And maybe do one more  spell check.   Then I’ll be ready to assemble the final product and upload it to Amazon.    The cover is almost done, and I don’t intend to spend a lot of time on the other items, as they can easily be changed later.  

I won’t be doing any of the “launch” activities that some authors do when they publish.   No advertising, no interviews, no contests or book videos… none of that madness.   People swear that stuff works, but I  feel it would be a waste of time when my library consists of ONE book.    When I have four or five titles for sale, then I’ll think about doing some marketing.  It might also help if I had an actual marketing budget, which I currently lack.

That’s all I have to say for now.   Subscribe to the blog if you haven’t already, so you can be notified when I publish.
