My Friend Kristi Rose is getting ready to publish her first book. "The Girl He Knows" I've read it and this is a very good book. Well written. It follows Paisley and her relationship with her best friends older brother. She wanted just one night, he wants forever. They settle for friends with benefits. The only condition is that his family can't find out. Paisley couldn't handle the embarrassment. These two work through their issues and learn why it is so important to be more than friends. I strongly recommend it.

The Passive Guy Blog has an excellent post about the Amazon / Hatchett controversy. Amazon sounds so much more reasonable. The people who are complaining about their actions are upset about anything Amazon might do that changes the Publishing world. See the article. Amazon wipes the floor with Hatchett's lunch.

Interviewed by Kristi Rose

The Author Kristi Rose interviewed me for her blog. You can see it here - http://www.kristirose.net/2014/07/chat-g-l-snodgrass/

Kristi's debut novel "The Girl He Knows" is coming at on August 18. It is a great story. A modern love story about a young woman who has to fight to learn what is important in life and fight to get it. I highly recommend it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KYUNEHM/ref=cm_sw_su_dp

I know that it will do well. Kristi is the type of person who won't let it be otherwise.

Two Years Before the Mast

My Book Review for Two Years Before the Mast was just posted on Chicago Boyz. It is a History/Political blog.

This is way cool

Self Publishing

My first Self-Published work

 

 

I just submitted my short story "Prom Date" to smash words. It was an experiment to discover how hard it would be. It took me about 2 hours to create the cover and about 3 hours to format the book and 2 minutes to load everything. It got rejected the first time because I made a couple of mistakes. I fixed them and it sailed through the second time. It will be 3 to 5 days before it shows up in Nook, Kobe, Amazon, etc.

It should be a lot faster next time. It was sort of like doing your taxes, hard, but doable.

Lessons learned - Use the Smashwords guide.
- Nuke the book. Covert to Text then back to MS word. Eliminated all the extraneous code
- Create style sheets for each of the different part. Not MS Word Buttons.
- Cover size 1600 x 2400

I wrote it for my daughters Caitlin and Andrea and dedicated it to Shelley
