Trying to Fly on Smashwords and Amazon

I’ve uploaded “Trying to Fly” to Smashwords and Amazon! As I mentioned before, this novelette has not been published previously. If you prefer a different ebook distributor, it will make its way to Barnes & Noble, Apple iBookstore, and Kobo soon–I probably won’t post when that happens, but I’ll add the links to the “Stories” page when I see them. Happy reading!

Trying to Fly Cover Art

Coming soon: my novelette, “Trying to Fly”! Unlike the other stories I’ve self-published, this one has not been published previously. I have to remind myself how to do the ebook formatting, but in the meantime, I’ve made the cover:

Nothing Altered Cover Art

It’s time for my short story, “Nothing Altered,” (originally published in Plasma Frequency and selected as reader’s choice for Issue #4 in the Year One Anthology) to make its appearance as an ebook. In the spirit of its original publication, this one is going to be free! I haven’t finished reminding myself how to do the ebook formatting yet, but in the meantime, here is a preview of the cover art:

The Self-Publishing Experiment: Feedback Request

Last Spring, I decided to experiment with self-publishing using a couple of my stories that had been previously published. Now, I am considering self-publishing a previously unpublished novelette (longer than a short story, shorter than a novel), but first, I want to ask you for feedback on the experiment so far. I’m not so much looking for comments on the stories themselves (although those are always welcome too). Instead, I’m more interested in what you, as readers, think about the self-publishing aspects: cover design, ebook format, description, publishing platforms–Amazon and Smashwords (and by extension, Barnes & Noble, Apple iBookstore, Sony, Diesel, Kobo, and a few others), or anything else. Even if you haven’t read the stories, you can still comment on any or all of these.

And while we’re on the subject, let me know what you’d be interested seeing on this site. So far, I’ve mostly done publication updates and news, but if you would find it useful and/or interesting, I would be willing to expand to include other things.

I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions. Thanks!
