I recently heard that an seasoned woman (over 80) was able to read my book on her Kindle by increasing the size of the print. I also was told that it was much easier for her to hold the Kindle than a paperback book. I enjoyed hearing her talk about the book asking me questions about the book like, "well who did Lawrence have in his room when it was unlocked" or "why do you not say what ports the ship is in". I did have to offer a simular answer that Ann Patchett had said when she was asked at her Seattle reading why she did not offer more detail about her characters. When I write I invite the reader to meet me part way. I will offer the words and I would like the reader to take the words and shape them as they wish.
I have approved the final proof of my book and I will let you know when it is available as a paperback purchase. Patricia The proof of my book has arrived and I have been making some small editing changes. It is a curious growth as a writer for one's eye to automatically find additional punctuation marks or words. This book has been reviewed by so many different resources it is hard to believe that there would be a mistake. Most importantly it looks fabulous, the cover is beautiful and again one which I had collaborated with BookBaby. I find myself loving the book yet again. I find myself putting the book down carefully, not folding it open, and keeping it close by because it just feels so good. I will be sending the book back one more time to CreateSpace; I will receive one final proof and will let you know when it is ready to order.
Did I say, it feels so good? Patricia
With the amazing support of CreateSpace and friends Georgia, Marty and Steve, Gentleman Companion One will be available in a paperback within the next few weeks. Following the books on demand program through CreateSpace my book will be available by order through your local bookstore, Amazon or CreateSpace e-store www.creatspace.com/3662292.
The book is about two hundred pages more, the eBook rounding off in the 280's. I have had many requests for the paperback and I hope to send copies to the on-line cruise sites for posting consideration. Quite a learning curve this last few weeks but I feel that this self-publishing journey has been amazingly beneficial not only for learning but for the investment I have made in the success of this book and the complete series. I am working on the second book which to date is filled with many emotional writing days. I will keep you updated when Gentleman Companion One is a paperback novel. Thank you. Patricia |
