JohnAbout a year ago, a friend used Amazon to publish a book and his experience was similar. The publishing part was at least equal to (or greater than) the effort of writing the book. Think he chose to forgo the book signings but has had very few sales.

Thanks Ron, Love to hear your take on it. Not sure about Kindle/epub. My publisher's marketing operation is pretty extensive. The release date for Barns and Noble, Amazon, etc, is March 11. They are also supposed to be setting up a website, etc. I must say, writing the book, as hard as it was, now seems a piece of cake compared to the dog and pony show you have to go through to get it published and marketed. I have to do book signings, etc (which I am NOT looking forward to.) My main goal, and the reason it was written in a novella format rather than a full blown novel, is to sell it to Hollywood for a movie. I'[m not a screen writer but from what I know, it should be a piece of cake for a pro to extrapolate a movie from the book. Anyway, will keep you posted. And thanks again for taking a look at it.

Looks cool. Looking forward to reading it. What about Kindle/epub? That is how I buy all my books nowadays. -RR -----Original Message-----From: "schalestock@xxxxxxxx" <schalestock@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Dec 16, 2013 9:18 AM To: sparkscoffee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sparkscoffee] book link Kelly and anyone else that might be interested.
