Got it covered – again

The Radwinter series by LoisMarch 31, 2017September 15, 2018

Gosh it has been difficult! Trying to get the right cover for my new e-book! I publish on Kindle Direct Publishing, and have to upload a cover – I can design it there on Amazon, but I’ve not tried so far… maybe next time.

For various tedious reasons, my usual way of designing didn’t work; fortunately a friend had recommended http://www.canva.com , and although I struggled a little to get exactly what I wanted, in the end I am quite pleased with it.

So here we are… coming soon, EARTHQUAKE, the latest Thomas Radwinter novel, a genealogical mystery, a haunted hotel, and a cuckoo in the nest!

Here is a link to my already published books, including the previous four in the series:

Well done! The hard work doesn’t stop at the writing, does it! I’m considering moving into ebooks this year.

  Thank you very much! Yes indeed, and writing is exciting, editing is so dull! I’ve found the actual creating of e-books very straightforward, so good luck if/when you do!

    I need to learn how to format the text, my brain refuses to comprehend the guidelines!

    I don’t format it – I just write it in Word and upload it!

    I just write it all as a word document. When I want to publish it (after what seems like years of editing!!!) I just use Amazon – Kindle Direct Publishing and upload it.
