My cousin’s wife, Linda Roberts Hill, sent me two options on the final cover early yesterday evening. I arrived home from the Centerton Planning Commission meeting and there they were. I ate a hasty supper, and went to The Dungeon to do the final publishing tasks.
I had already uploaded the publication file to Amazon’s KDP platform, but hadn’t published while waiting on the cover. However, I realized I had left some things out of it. So I corrected those, added the cover, and published. Unfortunately the KDP website was a little balky, and it took three attempts to upload it. I finally did, and that put it in the review queue.
So I hopped over to Smashwords, created the same book for it except with Smashwords references, and uploaded it. Smashwords was a little balky last night as well, but it eventually went through, and went live right away, there having been no auto-vettor errors. Within an hour I had an e-mail saying there had been a sale.
By the time I got to work this morning, it was live at Amazon.
So, my eighth publication is now available for sale at Amazon and at Smashwords. At some point it will enter the Smashwords Premium catalog, which means it will be available at the iTunes and Barnes and Noble stores.
