Good luck, I'll be buying it
Thanks :) - we paused a bit to write stories for DRitC, but soon I hope to get the project back underway., with everyone's good advice in mind.
Kaje you'll be on auto pilot by book three. I know heaps of people who go back and get the audio for their library, Amazon actually has a tool that scans your library for you and tells you that 3 new books now have audio. I am how ever disgusted with quite a few high profile authors now. They will not release the audio to the kindle checkout and make you purchase it from Audible. Others break up the price of the book and that lovely "add audio" box now in the Kindle store so you still pay the same price as an Audiobook or more in some cases.Other authors are now breaking novels in two if their big and charging the same price for pt. 1 & 2 of the Audiobook, that started about a year ago. Yet one site sells the book in it's entirely and other break them up and charge you double. Look at the prices of these books for example. These authors are stinking rich and I will never understand the greed. I refuse to buy their Audio now and this is what lead me back to reading or predominately listening to the M/M, LGBT genre.

I'm still working on the pricing - since the e-book is free, I'll have to figure what's fair but will cover production costs. But I can work out pricing after I actually have a book to sell :)
I'd be shocked if you didn't sell well, I haven't read many of your books yet because you seem very passionate about this so I'm holding off to listen to them without text-to-speech. I do agree that pricing them will be tough, I don't envy that mind cluster within this community, most go for between 0.99¢ up to $4.99 on rare occasions, but average between $1.99 to $3.99 + you have to buy the book too
