Going High Tech

Phew, the holidays are over and now it's a new year. Time to get back to what is a normal routine.  My youngest is back in school and the college girl has a few more days and then she will be back at UMO. Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays but I also love the normalcy of my life which comes when all the festivities are over.

 

I have published my book, Lies, In a Season of Tribulation at Smashwords.com in ebook. I am quite proud of myself though I am still trying to figure out what I am supposed to do with the tabs problem I am having in trying to publish it in premium status. My book is downloadable now in all formats, kindle, sony, etc. but it's not listed on Amazon, B&N, etc because I can't figure out the directions on tabs. I'm not a computer geek, I'm computer basic. I'm learning though.

 

I'm still in search for an agent since I let my agent go. I have two books that need to get published and I'm debating how I want to do that. I would prefer the agent and the traditional route with the big publisher but then again, that could take years, if ever. I also have the option of publishing myself on ebook and going the paperback route with a book for minimal costs, now. Hmm? I'm not jumping at anything, at this point, but it is in my brain being processed as I write. If anyone has an opinion on this please leave me a comment.

 

Regardless of my current status, I am so pleased to have my first book in ebook format. It has been a big leap for me to do this on my own. Actually, quite liberating. Though the big publishers say they don't believe this new technology will last, I think they are just trying to convince themselves. I believe there were skeptics when the personal computer first came out and look at us now! The evolution of technology is an amazing thing and I don't see us going backwards any time soon.

It must be an amazing feeling being published. I think E-books is a great way to go and I don't think it will peter out in popularity.

Hi Carol and welcome to my site. I agree since ereaders have become so popular and even Apple is getting into the act. I'm hoping to get one but I'll wait until they come down in price a bit. Thank you for your comment and please do make yourself comfortable and add whatever you would like to the site. It makes it more interesting.
