The difficulties of being a blind author and reader

I participated in an interview with Alexandra Butcher today as part of a post on accessability for blind authors and readers.

No longer publishing directly to Amazon

Due to navigation issues, I'm no longer publishing directly to Amazon. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes people buying my books, but I feel it's the best choice for me. My books are available in all formats Smashwords offers, so they are still available for you to read on your Kindle if that's your prefered way to read ebooks. Smashwords even gives instructions on how to get your books on to your eReader (if you need them). Also, Smashwords does distribute to Amazon... Assuming Amazon feels I've sold enough books to be worthy of acceptance by them.

Cover artists

Until now, all my covers have been created by Gendrill Publishing or Karl Mousley. I'm pleased with their work, and I do plan on using them for more covers in the future, but I now have a third cover artist.

His name is Jacob Blackmon, he's a freelance artist, and he's already created the cover for "Snowball The Oddball Kobold" for me, which is a story I plan to publish on September 2nd 2013.

You can check out the cover at http://prodigyduck.deviantart.com/art... if you like.

Triple figure sales!

My book sales are now nicely in to the triple figures!

I want to take a few moments to thank my loyal readers for this, because without you I wouldn't have sold any books!

OK, so I'm not a hugely successful author who's selling hundereds of copies of every book, but my books are getting noticed, and - judging by reviews I've gotten for them - are enjoyed by those who do read them.

Like I said, I have my readers to thank for that. So... Thank you loyal readers!

Spotlighted by a story reading ape

I was spotlighted by Chris The Story Reading Ape.

You can check out the page where he put me in the spotlight at http://thestoryreadingapeblog.com/spo... if you like.

His list of my books on the page isn't up to date, but I appreciate the effort Chris put in to the page, and am honoured he considers me worthy of his spotlight section.

Kero Gets Sick

Kero's World, book 3: Kero Gets Sick

Genre: Children's Books - Pets/Dogs

"The “Kero’s World” stories are all about the adventures of a West Highland White Terrier named Kero; read his stories, and see the world from the point of view of a little white dog."
