…Just wanted to take a moment to let you know I am self-publishing as an indie Author. This is a full-on do-it-yourself operation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m the website designer and blogger. I also do the editing, publishing and cover design. I’m even doing the illustrations for the book covers. In between all that, I’ll also do a little writing. Anything required to get this ship to sail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use Draft2Digital<\/a> to publish and distribute my ebook to all the major retailers. I highly recommend them (I am not sponsored by them, just like the service). They also provide a ‘universal book link’ which is home base for all the places the ebooks can be purchased. They provide one for every book published. Check it out…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low men – A suspense mashup<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a self-published author, it’s important run lean. Even though beautiful covers are available from talented artists and comprehensive editing is available from skilled editors, I’ve chosen to cover these bases myself. For now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for reading about the few words I shared here about self-publishing as an indie author. Support indie and tap the novels link below to buy the ebook… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
