Laurie, I'm having trouble finding details on this book- have you downloaded it already? If so, do you have the number of kindle locations, pdf pages, or any other details?

According to the author, the paperback release has hit a "small snag" (11/5/11) and will be delayed, so it doesn't exist yet.

Sheila (sheilaj) | 2221 comments Thanks for that! Just out of curiosty Donna and for future reference HOW do you approve it --- the number of dots underneath it?


message 377: by Dlmrose, Moderator Emeritus (new)

Dlmrose | 18433 comments Mod
There are quite a few ways- if a publisher or author provides page numbers, we'll go with them. I look for word count next- some publishers and retailers have categories- novella, novel, etc with word counts. There are many places to check for word counts for individual books- smashwords, fictionwise, itunes books, etc. We use a reference of 350-250 words per page. If word counts are not available, we sometimes have to work with kindle locations or other device specific clues. We've found that file size doesn't reflect document length- there are too many variables. The moderators do discuss any ebook that falls close to the 100 page threshold to make sure we're being as fair as possible. I try to find multiple information sources for each title.

I've become pretty efficient at searching for clues. It really helps if you include any info you might find like Dee and others do.

Your book has 102,147 (approximate) words.

Even if you find this info, you still need to get the book approved. The moderator reviewing completed tasks uses SRC ebook Verification in post 1 to check for ebook approval.

Sheila (sheilaj) | 2221 comments Thanks Dlmrose for the info in msg. 378 above.


message 381: by Dee (new)

Dee (austhokie) | 8947 comments Sheila - i've found most of the smaller publishers are pretty good about listed word count on their websites, or if they don't list specific word count, a range that it falls within (like novel is 35k-50k) or something like that

Black Moon smashwords puts this book at 12860 words
Amber Moon smashwords puts this book at 22960 words
Silver Moon smashwords puts this book at 18900 words

Would any of these books work? If not can more than one be read to complete a challenge? Thanks!

Some sources call these short stories; others call them novellas; the author calls them novels. Individually they are too short, but they may be used in combination (Amber Moon plus another) to reach 100 pages.
Black Moon 36-51 pages
Amber Moon 66-91 pages
Silver Moon 54-76 pages
