This month we
are celebrating great writing
self-published with Amazon via Kindle
Direct Publishing, Createspace, and Audiobook
Creation Exchange. I ventured into the world of self-publishing earlier
this year, when I tentatively released a solo short story, It’s Complicated (A RedcliffeShort Story), to be included as a freebie for my newsletter followers.
The process was very simple, although time-consuming, but I did come away
feeling very satisfied and enthused to try it again.

A month or
so later, I released a short story anthology on Kindle, My Vampire Boyfriend (A Redcliffe
Short Story Anthology). This compliments my Redcliffe novels series that has been published by Mirador, and
will tie-in nicely with the next 3 books in the series that I am currently
working on. I haven’t yet decided whether they should be self-published or not.
I am still trying to design cover art for them.
Eventually, I
took the plunge and published a whole novel, The Vampire of Blackpool.
This one had been doing the rounds with agents and small publishers and every
time I received a polite “thanks but the
book doesn’t fit our requirements” response. So I decided to self-publish
it. I wanted a paperback and an eBook,
so I used Createspace and Kindle Publishing. I realise that there
are still improvements to be made with the formatting of my paperback, but I am
satisfied for now that I have a good, solid, readable book to share with my
fans.
