The cost of doing business

I spent around $250 today purchasing my own books. After a while I’ll get ten copies of each of my novels and five copies of The Vintage Collection. And then I’ll try to sell them directly to people and make my money back, plus maybe a few dollars from each one on top of that. I am going to have to ask the cover price for each one, unless you plan on ordering several copies of a single (or multiple) titles – in which case we can probably work something out. Any of you interested in reading my novels but not interested in paying shipping, or who don’t have a credit card or PayPal account, and you live here in Arizona, please let me know and I’ll come sell you a book or three.

If you live outside of Arizona, you can still order via my store at CafePress.

I don’t think I’ll get into the details of it, but I basically spent the last two days and nights getting all the files together and online so Dragons’ Truth could go online. Suffice it to say that in preparing the document itself I looked at every single page of the novel not less than 15 times yesterday, and have uploaded (on dial-up, mind you) around 40Mb of the same 6.3Mb of images to CafePress to get everything working right. It was not fun. But it all looks just about right, and you can now order the novel and enjoy it, so I guess it was worth it.

I think I’ll go make a different post.
