Bane of Souls out at Barnes & Noble

6/26/2012

4 Comments

 
Bane of Souls has come out as a Nook Book at Barnes & Noble. That leaves just Sony and Blio (Baker & Taylor) to go.

I've slowly been getting back into the swing of writing (always takes me a while when I've spent ages redrafting or, in this case, doing all the boring formatting stuff). Pretty happy with the last major characters, whose introduction I've just written.

Bane of Souls released on Kobo

6/21/2012

Bane of Souls has now come out on Kobo. That just leaves Apple, Barnes & Noble, and Baker & Taylor, I think.

I've also gotten around to doing some fresh banners (one for Kobo, the other for Diesel). Whilst I really like the Amazon/Smashwords ones I didn't want them all to be almost identical.

Both Kobo and Diesel provide ePub non-DRM versions (NB no version of Bane of Souls has DRM, which is, generally speaking, the work of Satan). So, they're good for almost every eReader (Kindle users can of course buy from Smashwords or Amazon).

Bane of Souls has also just come out on Apple at the iTunes store. So, if you want to read it on your iPhone or iPad, now you can.

Drumming up interest is the biggest challenge right now, due to the sheer volume of books out there. So, if you read it and enjoyed it, please do tell your friends and consider writing a review. That sort of thing can really help a new author, and would be greatly appreciated.

Thaddeus enters the Amazon (with a Diesel)

Bane of Souls is now out on Amazon, which I'm quite pleased about. I published there directly to save time, but Smashwords will still be automatically distributing the book to a wide range of other retailers.

Quite happy to get this done as I'm neither very good at nor fond of technical, finickity things. Fortunately , formatting the Smashwords version did almost everything necessary for Amazon too.

I think that's the last concrete piece of work needed on Bane of Souls. From now on I'll be splitting my time between writing Altmortis and marketing Bane of Souls. Very much looking forward to getting back to writing, especially as I'm still just a quarter of the way into the first draft, which is always the most fun.

Edited extra bit: Bane of Souls is also now out on Diesel, in ePub format (used by most eReaders, though not the Kindle). You can buy it here.

Bane of Souls Goes Premium

6/13/2012

One of the biggest reasons to publish on Smashwords (alongside it being free) is the Premium Catalogue.

Basically, if you format your book pretty well then it gets classed as premium and this means it will automatically get shipped to half a dozen retailers without you having to do anything.

I'm very pleased (and relieved) to say that Bane of Souls now has premium status. In a few days to a week I think it'll be shipped to other stores and hopefully become available at them shortly thereafter.

As has been noted, there seems now to be a slight issue/delay with Amazon, which is why I'm planning on publishing there directly as well, but it's still a fantastic feature.

I can't say for certain when the direct Amazon upload will happen, but if I can I'll try and make some progress over the weekend. The formatting is very slightly different to the Smashwords method but similar enough that already having the Smashwords version cut down on my workload quite a lot.

After the Amazon version is up I'll mostly return to working on Altmortis. It'll be nice to get back to writing.

Bane of Souls, a terrible tale of murder, woe, doom and feathery hats, is now out on Smashwords!







Must say that I'm relieved, although there's still more work to do, even before the Amazon edition is begun. I've had a quick look at the various main formats (pdf, Kindle, epub) and the formatting seems ok, but if you do spot a problem (especially a howler) please do let me know so I can correct it.

For those wondering why there are two fantastic images of the cover art, that's very simple. Some formats (like Kindle) have it added by Smashwords as a jpeg, but the pdf format doesn't. So, it has to be added in-document (at the top of a Word file) to be seen in a pdf file, but this has the added effect of there being two for some other formats.

I'm also really looking forward to getting back to Altmortis. I love writing, and this technical stuff is something I'm not that fond of, to be honest.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the book, buy it, and emotionally blackmail all of your friends into buying it too.

    About Me
    I've always loved reading
    and writing, particularly fantasy and classical history. I'm also quite into F1 and politics and have no idea why this section is double-spaced.
