Progress, and Success of a Kind
11 months after I self-published my debut novel in various (although now exclusively Kindle) e-formats, "Pilgrimage" is now available in paperback.
I'm excited. It is very cool having my book in physical form. Seeing Pilgrimage on my Kindle and in the Kindle store at Amazon.com is one thing, but feeling it's weight, having a front and back cover, turning the pages - it all adds another level to the feeling of accomplishment.
Plus I added some graphics to the front and back of the book. The original cover of Pilgrimage is now the first page of the paperback. I added two images to the back as teasers to upcoming books I plan on releasing in the late spring and in the fall of this year.
It's been inspiring too, that as I announced the publication of the paperback, I also started promoting the next book. I just put a couple of images on my Facebook pages. I was thrilled to hear from readers of Pilgrimage who are excited for the next book to be published. Repeat readers, huh? Do I have fans?
In conclusion, I will paraphrase the legendary and misquoted line from Sally Field at the 1985 Oscars "You like me, you really like me!" this way - "Someone likes me, someone really likes me!" And it feels good.
