New Book has Launched

Today, 11 June, 2011, my new eBook, Seven Doors of Time, has successfully launched and is being published by Smashwords.com.  They had the option for a sampling of the book, which I was delighted to accept, so readers could see what the book is all about.
This book is not a novel, but a collection of seven stories written over several years.  Each story is different...different plots and locations, time periods, etc.  One story is very short..only a couple of pages.  Two are much longer and the others are right in the middle.  The book totals 431 pages in the HTML version with over 158,000 words in total.  That's a lot of writing.  It's one of those books you can take on holiday, a weekend getaway or just to read when you want something light before going to bed at night.  Just don't read the crime and murder stories before bed...or the one about ghosts and murder.  You might have bad dreams!!

The link to find the book is: http://smashwords.com/b/66076 and you can either sample the book or order it.  I thought the price of $2.99 US or £1.85 UK wasn't bad for the size of the book.  It certainly beats the price of a movie!!!  And you can have your own treats while you read!!  Try taking a glass of wine into a movie theatre!


I'll be working on keeping things updated on the web sites and pages and you should see the book listed at major electronic retailers within a few weeks.  It takes a little time to get it listed, but this is readable on almost every eReader available. Since this is my first foray into the electronic publishing industry, it will be interesting to see how well it does.  If it is successful, there will be a sequel with seven more stories. But I can't rest on my laurels (nor would I), because there are new projects underway, with the novel about murder in Victorian Whitby, England, plus a very new project, my first ghost writing experience for a true crime mystery novel.  I think I must be glued to my office chair, because all I seem to do it write...it that a good thing?

Even if you don't have an eReader, you can still read the book, because in the formats I have chosen, you can read it on your computer and/or laptop.  Just go to the link above and see what it says.

Happy reading, everyone!
