Publish and Be Damned Part 2

That's it. Part 2 of The Great Project - City of Fire and Ice - went on to Amazon yesterday. I've published the whole thing now, all three hundred thousand or so words. Phew!

It feels good, getting part two out there. Getting a good cover was a little more tricky this time. I used the same designer, but we had to do a lot of backwards and forwards discussion before we got it right. I'm very happy with it now though. It hints at fire and ice, it uses a photo of Edinburgh Castle that I took, and it incorporates an angel, which is a key component of the story. So I'm pleased with it.


I've also priced this second part of my book less competitively - it's dearer. That way I would hope, eventually, to make a good return for all my two years of effort on the two books together.

The key thing now is to concentrate more on marketing/selling. And to do that I need to get my current book finished. I'm close, but like the sea it keeps receding. I'll get there soon though. Then it's sell, sell, sell.
