"Seven Doors of Time" contains seven independent stories written in different 'voices' with an array of subjects. I'm always fond of writing weddings into my books, so four of the stories have short wedding scenes. The other three stories don't lend themselves to weddings at all!! There is plenty of romance (no sex scenes in anything I write), a bit of mayhem, time travel and paranormal activity, lots of theft, lying and stupid people, plus a story line which deals with environmental issues, one dealing with crime and drugs, money laundering and cartels. These stories took over two years to write, as I was also working on other books at the time. A second book is planned after I see how well an e-book goes over. This will be published first with Smashwords.com, then later Kindle and PubIt. And if all goes well in this venue, then I will publish the book in either hard cover or paperback. I'm looking at a cost of around $3.95-$4.95 for the e-book and may even offer it free for a trial period to see how it goes. A portion of the proceeds from this e-book will go to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation who, along with Rotary International, help bring Polio vaccines to poor countries. Because I had Polio as a child and now have Post Polio Syndrome some 40-odd years on, I want to do what I can to save a child - or many children from having to suffer with the debilitating effects of Polio. Yes, it's still around and we want to do all we can to eradicate it.
And I decided to resurrect my dot com as well. If you go to http://www.karinfickecook.com/, you will also find a link back to the family web site, which gives photos and details of what we've been up to. Hubby Mick keeps this updated (I hope). The dot com has a starter page, but eventually I want to expand it to include excerpts from the new book.
So I'm off to continue working on the new book. Once everything gets formatted for Smashwords, then becomes ready to launch, I'll post the details here.
