On to Production!

This is going to be delicious! ~ Belladonna, Blood Curse

Auditions have been sorted. A narrator has been selected. The initial sound check has been approved. The audio book version of Blood Curse is currently in production!

When it’s finished, it will be available on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes.

My narrator is Greg D. Barnett.

I may add color to the new illustration of Belladonna. I haven’t decided yet.

Frustrations in Formatting

I’ve started formatting and final edits on the 2nd edition of Demon Bayou. I have it slated for print and ebook release the first Thursday in May.

Naturally, first thing I did was follow an outdated direction in the Smashwords style guide, possibly incorrectly. I used the tip for removing double spaces, but I hit remove all instead of going through them individually. This resulted in turning the entire MS into a SINGLE PARAGRAPH. Now I have to go back and fix all that.

It’s not going to be hard. It’s just going to be tedious and time consuming. (eye twitch)

Once I get the print PDF finished, I’ll contact Fatima on Fivver and get her started on the cover.

Trudging onward.

Starting to Sound Good

Audio book cover

I’ve made an offer to a narrator. Waiting to hear back from him. That much closer to getting Blood Curse into audio book.

Progress

I am slowly getting closer to audio books. I have my ACX membership. I have corrected the errors I found, whether spelling, editing, or formatting errors in all the source files of the Blood Curse MS, and have updated the Smashwords and Google Books uploads. I have uploaded the ebook directly to KDP. I will upload the revised version of the print book to Ingram Spark when I upload Demon Bayou, since it is going to carry a fee to do so. I also plan on running a contest which involves spotting the errors in the print version to win an advanced copy of Demon Bayou (details to be announced in April).

I still have to finish reading through all the legalese on ACX before I upload a sample for auditions.

I am also in the process of setting up my profile on GOATreads in preparation for uploading the ebook there.

Finally, I have started work on the cover illustration for this month’s episode of The Adventures of Pigg & Woolfe: Episode 15 Reversal of Fortune. Look for it on KDP Tuesday, March 15th.

That is all.
