Got a new book coming out next
week and I must say it’s a great feeling. Not because I finished another book,
but because I finished a book that I started writing in 1997. As I slowly weed
through more than two decades of manuscripts, there’s a certain joy that comes
each time one is finally declared “finished”. Even as I re-read the manuscript
for the thousandth time, I could still picture myself fourteen years ago,
sitting upstairs in my sweltering bedroom pumping out the first draft of the
story into a 546 megabyte hard drive all while dreaming of having legions of
fans and wild success. It’s these dreams that have kept me writing for all of
these years. But, I digress. What I really wanted to do is give you a quick
overview of the people I use and trust to put a raw manuscript into absolute
professional standards. When you sell an ebook, the cover and interior
formatting must be perfect if you are to attract a growing audience. You don’t
want to cheapen out on these things. So… once again, I get no kickback or any
other incentive to mention these people, only that they have been fantastic
when it comes to producing my ebooks. The first person I recommend is my cover
artist Judy Bullard. Jubu@cox.net. She is
absolutely fantastic and has an uncanny way of creating the exact cover I had
envisioned in my head. She’s done the last four of my books, including my
latest, which you can see on my blog. Here are the links to see my covers of
books she’s done that are for sale now:

The second person who makes my
ebooks possible is Chris O’Byrne. You can check him out on Linkedin or his
website. This is his email address. theebookeditor@gmail.com
Chris is great at formatting the manuscript, assigning ISBN’s and downloading
the manuscript to Kindle and Smashwords. So, that’s about it. Simple, huh?
These two and a great story and you’ve got the makings for success. I’m
confident my book is in the right hands and I’m getting ready to market and
promote it like mad. Check out DREAM TRAVELER, available in about a week.
