How do you e-read?

As you know if you've read the latest ITL update, we're moving into the next book now.  I'm having a great time with it, and I hope that you'll enjoy it, too!

In response to comments:

Michelle, I'm sorry!  When Lulu offered me publishing options and recommended the DRM version, I was like, sure, sounds good!  I didn't realize that it would drastically change the file's readability.  I'll look into fixing that if I can.

Pukku, I apologize.  Right now, the CreateSpace, Lulu, and Amazon versions available are all I have.  Eventually, ideally, I'll have a version of everything to suit everyone's needs.  I'm sorry, y'all are way more versed in e-publishing than I am, so I'm not aware of the pros and cons of every version and how they work with various readers.

I think the main problem here is that a lot of people read e-books in different ways.  Some people want PDFs and some want EPUBs and some people use Nook and some people want Kindle and some people don't use either but prefer Kindle formatting anyway.

Maybe it would help if you'd all let me know what works best for you, so that I can prioritize whatever suits the most people.  Should I e-publish through Lulu?  Should I publish for Kindle?  Is there some other thing I should be doing altogether?

From comments


Well, y'all are awesome, but I already knew that.

Thank you for the great feedback on Trent and Jason and The Mystery of the Golden Goddess!  I'm glad that everyone's having so much fun with them!

Okay, from comments, I got votes for Talin and Selorin to take their turns next in ITL.  And was it my imagination, or did Vade's name keep cropping up?

Talin and Selorin.  Let's compare.

(This is where I mention, just for the sake of clarity, that this is a conversation for fun because I like to hear what y'all think, but the plot of ITL is already settled, and it was decided long ago which book is next.  I don't want you to get all annoyed if you vote for Desin and The Green Book isn't next.)

We've seen Selorin with a string of boyfriends, but he reserves his deep relationships for family.  Still, playing the Maiden to Orinakin's Wanderer is no fun.  Now that Orinakin's a.) always away and b.) married, it makes sense for Selorin to move on and find someone of his own.

Talin has known great love (Anosanim) as well as great heartbreak and betrayal (Hitari).  He seems to think that he'll never know romance again, but I can't wait to prove him wrong.  In time, he'll heal and learn that his days of passion aren't all behind him.  Is now the moment?

What kinds of guys would be best for Selorin and Talin?  Ack, I can't answer.  All of my answers either give too much away, or are deliberately misleading and take my brain off on interesting tangents which lead to fun new worlds of cheerful sex adventures.  You tell me what you think about the kinds of guys Selorin and Talin should end up with.

Emmytie, I wish you all of the best in your job hunt!

Coming soon

The end of the The Gold Book is almost here!  I'm in the process of wrapping up this stage of the journey and preparing for the next romance of ITL.


Orinakin got Bade.  Kudorin got Xio Voe.  Remin got Tano.

Who's next?  Which of the Seven Siblings will be next to fall in love?

And who will the other guy in the romance be?  What kind of guy will we meet in the next book?

What are you looking forward to as we move to the next story in ITL?

Golden Goddess e-book

The Mystery of the Golden Goddess!  Hooray!  Writing this story was so much fun, I'm really glad to be able to share it with you.

Print version here.


E-version here.

Thank you so much for your support!

Trent and Jason e-book

Okay!  Trent and Jason is now available in e-book!  Thank you, Diamond, for your formatting and trouble-shooting work.

I hope that you enjoy Trent and Jason!  It was fun stuff to write.  I had a great time following the development of their relationship.  What will they do for Valentine's Day?  How will things go during a trip out of town?  What happens when they reunite after a summer apart?  Lots of fun, lots of sex, lots of good times.

It feels good to have another item crossed off my publishing to-do list.  Now, you go read Trent and Jason, and I'll get back to work!

Publishing

If you've purchased the e-book versions of my work, did you have problems with the formatting?  What were they?

Were there italics where they should have been (Bade's thoughts, for example)?  Were the head rules/horizontal lines visible to mark scenes, or did the scenes all run into each other haphazardly?

Progress

Making progress!

Trent and Jason and The Mystery of the Golden Goddess are both available on Amazon!

What we're working on next, not in chronological order:

A Suitor's Tale so that you can read more ITL sex.  Then, I hope, Dragons.

Finishing up the Amazon versions of The Purple Book.

Publishing The Rainbow Book and The Gold Book in print form.

E-book versions of everything!

After that, more new stuff!  Because there can never be enough fun stuff to read, am I right?
