New Release - Forgotten Legacy

Greetings to all,

Announcing the release of book 4 "Secret of the Crystal IV - Forgotten Legacy".

It's been a long time coming, but this went through some very major editing. I want to thank Ruth and Alana for their tireless efforts here. Without their feedback, suggestions, and finding all those pesky type-o's, I'd still be sifting through the pages...

With the editing complete, I quickly was able to format the eBook and get it uploaded. What amazed me was that this only had 5 or 6 formatting glitches and were corrected in a couple of attempts.

What do you mean by that you ask? Well, if you don't understand the difficulties of uploading your work to have the Amazon format tool take you on the merry trip of conversion, let me count the ways... 

First off, after the word document is converted, you have to check all the page breaks, chapter titles and so on for accuracy. Sometimes, during the conversion, your wonderfully laid out work gets confused and your title isn't centers, there could be large gaps in spacing and such. These can be a real pain to fix. I typically have to change the style to something different and then re-center, save, upload and preview again.

Each time, it has been easier with this upload the best. Now I need to format the print version and get that loaded to Create Space. 

The last thing I needed to fix was the cover. Yeah, it looks great on my computer, but I discovered that the font was too small. So I made those changes, uploaded the new cover and published. Got the message that it was live, but the cover that's displayed is not, well, displayed... it's on the "Look Inside" feature, but not on the book page. Hmmm, gonna have to put in a ticket for that one.

I really love writing books, there's no doubt about that. I don't love doing the layout, but hey, kind of one of those necessary evils.

Regardless of all that, I am very proud to have another finished product for you to enjoy. 

Here are the links for easy access, hold on to your armchairs, this one will definitely keep you on the edge of your chair.  


You can find it here at Amazon, and it will be configured for Smashwords and Nook in the next few days.


I hope you enjoy this 4th installment for Secret of the Crystal, and I welcome feedback and reviews to let others know how you like it. Good or bad, I prefer good of course, but welcome all feedback. This is how we make our stories better for you to enjoy. 


Now back to chapter 12 of book 5, the Rune.
