I have been thinking about publishing my Beaumont Brides trilogy on Kindle ever since I realized it was possible.
The books were published in the UK and had a limited retail presence in the US and Australia. They were, I think, translated into Russian and one or two other languages, but have been out of print for a fair while.
I did publish them as a free reads serial on The Beaumont Brides blog a couple of years ago.
Finally, when I finished the first draft of my Italian book, I took the bull by the horns, so to speak, re-edited (I was working off my finished mss rather than what eventually made it to print) and was ready to go.
No. Not ready to go. I needed cover art.
Actually, that was the fun bit - finding the artwork. The best beloved then did his magic adding titles and author name, at which point I hit a brick wall.
The instructions for uploading the mss to Amazon suggested it was simple but my version looked a mess.
Enter the lovely Jenni, who did the technical stuff for me and voila - a week later all three books are now available to download via Kindle (or your PC if you don't have an eReader).
When I have recovered from the trauma, I will attack the other eBook platforms. Meanwhile, if you like to try before you buy, the first chapters of all three books are available here

Well done, Liz! I had a go in Feb with a collection of short stories, its great, isn't it? I hope you've also done smashwords, which means its available for all other platforms. Catherine Howard says how to do it on her blog, Catherine Caffeinated.
I'll definitely have a go at Smashwords, Sally. Thanks for telling me about Catherine Howard.
The covers look great =)
I'll tell the best-beloved, Lacey. He loves doing this stuff for me.
Hooray Liz!
Thanks, Donna! It's been on my "to-do" list for so long. Great to get it done.
Congratulations Liz, on getting onto the Kindle! The cover looks great!
