no probs, cheers for all your help here, looks like I need to have a few words back at base. Good luck with your cover and the book generally, as that too seems to be a much needed commodity in these tumultuous literary waters. Lets watch this space then and see how the bones fall. Its 04-08 right now, lucky my day (in this case night ) job has me up from 19-00 to 07-00 but I will be in touch with an email to make this communication easier. Mitakuye Oyasin, JRB.
I don't understand why your publisher hasn't gotten it distributed to other retailers like B&N, and Kobo. Are you in the KDPSelect program? They demand exclusive distribution for 90 days when you're in that. Beyond 90 days I think you should be able to list it with other retailers.
Oh, sorry, I just realized I didn't answer your question at all. Sorry! Mea culpa. I got the book up on B&N by loading it up on Smashwords, and they distributed it to B&N, Kobo, and a few others. You can also (I believe) do it directly through the individual retailer, but this was my first attempt and it seemed easier to upload once to Smashwords and let them take care of distributing to other retailers. Really sorry, I'm tearing my hair out over getting the cover for the paper copy of the book fixed to publish via CreateSpace.
If you have questions about how it works, DM me on here or Twitter and I'll send you an email address, and we can talk in more depth.
Hi James. Sorry, I can't seem to just "reply" to your message, Wattpad is acting strangely. I put the book up on Amazon as an ebook, via their Kindle Direct Publishing. I don't think I can put up a link here to it, but if you just Google it you should be able to find the UK site for KDP. We'll see if the link shows up after I "post" http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kindle-Direct-Publishing/e/B008241EAQ
@ddsyrdal will do. Thanks. Im already on Kindle via my publisher Melrose Books, looking at this it looks like I've to type the entire book again rather than upload or copy and paste. There is always something to make life more complicated than it really needs to be. ho hum.
The Adversary, book 1 of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Saga. Out to buy in hardback 1st edition from Amazon and Waterstones. Kindle edition available on Amazon too. Book 2 The Emergence two thirds underway with a seperate stand alone novel The Shard undergoing edits as we speak. Urban fantasy with many unique origin stories for the myths and legends that defy explanation as well as introducing some previously unseen in this genre.
