After having no success finding an agent willing to represent a novel about a female detective working in early Twentieth Century Seattle, I decided to step into the brave new world of e-publishing. Luckily for me my wife Rita is on friendly terms with html and its kin. I probably would have permanently fused my wiring if I had tried to format the book myself. So we punched the button; LIFTERS in now out there in the ezone. I learned the book was the 125,799th e-publication as of last Friday. Well that's heartening news. I feel like the salmon smolt who's decided to leave his little pool in the creek and point his nose towards the river.
We'll do a little e-marketing, as we're all encouraged to do. I'm not sure how many of the people linked to me by two or three degrees of separation read novels on devices. I find myself looking forward with anticipation to feedback. I'll relish the good, try to deal with the bad, and wince at the indifferent. So go ahead, risk $1.99 and let me know what you think.
