Today I have self-published my first book.
This was a long time in coming. I had attempted this book in 2008-2009 when I wrote it as a Nanowrimo novel and used the winning promotions to self-publish. However, I was in too much of a hurry and submitted a draft rather than a polished copy. Ashamed, I let it stagnate.
I tried to do a full re-write but lost that document in a computer crash. I was devastated.
Until I found the original.
This month, I woke it back up. I did some research and made it better. It has a new title, new cover (or two), and a little bit of new content. The bones were good. It didn't need all the change I thought it did. I'm happy with it. It makes a good first novel. It may not be huge, but it is not terrible.
It is now LIVE on Amazon, Kindle Direct, CreateSpace, and Goodreads (link coming). There will be a promo or a giveaway.
Also, I have a shiny new facebook author page. https://www.facebook.com/elshahawk . Please go and like it.
I've also tried my hand at NO Content books. I made a couple of cute homework planners.

In the works is a new short story for free on smashwords, and the beginnings of a new manuscript. :)
Stay tuned for more!
