Today, I braved a world I’m deeply afraid of. I’d never wanted to relocate away from the Luddite village where I was comfortable, more at home in the world of paperbacks and handwritten letters.

And it wasn’t easy. I shed real tears after spending money, partly for spending the money, partly for messing up the email and losing it. Luckily, customer support was amazing and saved my bacon.

So now after about five hours of tears, sweat, but luckily no blood, I have hooked up my author page to a mailing list. Yes, step one on the road to “things authors should do to ensure a market for their books” has been completed.

A webpage, twitter account, Facebook page. Done.

Book one for sale, book two on preorder, with the paperback hopefully getting approval in the next few days.

Now, to spread the word beyond my (very supportive) family and friends. This is truly the most difficult part when you just want to hole up and make pretty stories. But like every child, they need to eventually go out into the world and support themselves.

Fly free my babies, go pay your own bills!

Book 2- kindle preorder 🙂
