Today I submitted Haunted Lake to CreateSpace for a print version. I’m really nervous, and I think my cover designer, Anya Kelleye, is nervous, too. The cover is going to be iffy. I love it, but sometimes there’s an issue with color on this particular cover. And it looks different on the computer screen than it does when I print it out on our color laser here at work. Also, I hope all the errors in the interior have been fixed. When Anya and I did the print version for Jonathan Eli’s book, The Last Cabbandeum, we were delighted at how it turned out. Her cover was perfect. The interior I did looked great. So, hopefully, we did okay on this one. If not, we can always redo it and order another proof. It costs more to do that, but it has to be right.
After this, I’m going to work on getting Starfane in print. Then, I’m going to do a three novella set in one book with Club Blood, See Me, and Guardian Vampire. I may have said this before, but I joked about calling it “Loving the Dead and the Undead”. :0)
Congratulations on getting your manuscript into CreateSpace. I know it must have been a nail-biting time to get it perfect (one reason I’ve put off going down that road). I like the name “Loving the Dead and the Undead” !
Thanks, Michelle! It is definitely stressful (not too bad though, because I don’t stress that badly), but worth it, I think.
The first time I mentioned that name to somene, I did it jokingly. But, honestly, it’s starting to grow on me. LOL
Great name for the trio; you should do it. I got my computer back so you should be getting something new very soon, well as soon as I can considering how crazy life is right now.
The Last Cabbandeum looks great and is getting great comments from the sample books I have. Now just to get some people buying them!
Peace
Oh, so you like the name too? Michelle said she likes it. Maybe it isn’t as corny as I originally thought. LOL
Was Chris able to fix your computer so that all your files were saved? If so, that’s great!
Have you checked your sales on CreateSpace yet? I know you had at least one from Amazon the last time I looked.
I’m thinking the book will turn out just fine (I hope). This is definitely a learning experience.
As far as the name goes I kind of like it too. We’ll have to see how to combine all that on the cover!
Hey, Anya. If it doesn’t look like we want it to, then we’ll just fix it and try again. LOL.
I really do like the name. It almost sounds corny…but not. I think that cover is going to be interesting since it combines three separate stories. Good luck with that. Bwa ha ha.
