My dears :)
Everything was said concerning my way as a writer... I THOUGHT ;) But as so often in life, there always comes a surprise around the corner when you would expect it at the very least :) In this case, even a highly enjoyable one :)
Some of you will have seen on my blog, that there are now also Ebooks available from me.
That's funny in even two ways, because 1. it came to these publications in a hurry and 2. I was so very skeptical about the media Ebook ;)
But first things first :D
Thanks to a crazy coincidence, I came across the so-called self publishing. I had to deal with that kind of stuff in the past on several occasions, but it was then all about, as mentioned in some columns before, "real" books that would have been an enormously expensive thing with printing subsidy or self-buying costs.
But in this Ebook-Self publishing area I read my eyes sore, looking for something small printed, which also just wanted to pull out money from my pocket.
When I found nothing of the sort, despite intense round reading the terms on and on, I had to wrestle down the next bastard: my antagonism towards ebooks.
Call me old fashioned, call me not compatible with today's time, but as far as books, I am a very puristic person who needs the feeling of paper between her fingers while reading. Not to mention the feeling of an OWN book, made of flesh and blood, or in this case, made of paper and printer's ink to hold in your hands.
In short, I was a little worried again, coupled with doubts, but what did I have to lose?
So I plowed my way through the self - publishing process until I had finally made it :)
And what can I say? Already the 2nd Ebook made everything much easier to work on :) When I published my first big novel, which firmly set one day my reputation as a kitsch auntie, it was still a different feeling, because this one had a whole lot of heart and soul in it :) And if it reaches at the free ebooks place number 14, I think that it wasn’t a so stupid idea to include eBooks to my repertoire ;)
In this sense I wish you lots of fun (even with my ebooks ;) ) :-*
Best wishes from your Cosima :)
