Jack, Please forgive my crappy memory.
Can you list all your books - published and to-be published?
I read a couple of them here and LOVED them, but it's been so long I can't remember which ones. I will gladly download, read and review for you.
Thanks!

Thanks, Gacela! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Where are you in the publishing process? Still working on drafts? Or already out on Amazon?
Sorry our paths didn't cross while workshopping.

Was this the one with the opportunistic woman?
Crap, John. I love your stuff and know I finished at least one if them, but it's been too long now and I can't remember. Rest assured I will be downloading on kindle.
Please tell me I can do kindle for your stuff. Soon it will be imperative. I'm moving to Germany.
Best of luck on this release!!

Ann, I saw your review - THANKS!!
Marianna, please don't apologize for utilizing the free download. That's what it's for. I don't expect to make much money on the first book, so I have absolutely no problem with giveaways.
If I'm still resorting to that on book three or four (provided I live that long) well, that's another story . . . .
Best regards to all!

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for the kind words. Here's some extra info on my publishing experience - if it helps at all.
Dunecan - I did sign up for Print on Demand, but I don't expect to make any money that way. I'm like you, I just wanted a physical copy of my book. As for prepping the files, I am not very technical, and, after flailing around with Smashwords, I looked at my publishing budget and decided it was worth having a professional formatter do that part for me. They provided files for all electronic formats as well as POD.
Corra - Eventually I will expand to other ebook markets, but at present I am on Amazon's KDP Select, which doesn't allow parallel publishing. After 90 days I can expand or stay with DKP. I'll keep you posted on what I do as soon as I figure it out.
Ceridwen - Wow!! Four books out already. That's amazing!! Congratulations, you power writer!!

Topic: I finally did it (22 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
After six years, three extensive edits (thanks to all the phenomenal help from TNBW colleagues), and several screw-ups, I finally published my first novel, The Merrow of Lake Michigan.
I'm not here very often anymore, but I wanted to encourage all the new members to keep at it. Read and review. Over and over. You will discover some wonderful books, make some great friends, and improve your writing immensely.
The book is out now, on Kindle and in paperback. It will be available for a free download on 3/7 and 3/18. If you do download it, and manage to read it, can you do me a favor and leave me an honest review on Amazon.
Thanks. Every little bit helps.
Lots of luck to all of you, and thanks, Sol, for creating this wonderful workplace.
Best regards,
Madison
